Antique Hand-Painted Jardiniere from Rouen

Price: $798

Antique Hand-Painted Jardiniere from Rouen is a vibrantly colored, classically styled planter that adds visual delight to any room, regardless of whether one has placed fresh flowers in it or not!  The design is an elongated urn form that dates back thousands of years, with a flared and scalloped rim.  Demilune embellishments as well as elaborate floral, foliate and thistle motifs abound on all sides.  Two large handles painted with foliate sprays allow easy grasping.  The beautiful cobalt blue, copper red and rich greens are wonderfully preserved thanks to the excellent glazing techniques of the master ceramicists for which the region is known worldwide.  Being hand-painted, each such work is an individual expression of art, sure to become an instant family heirloom that will be treasured for decades to come!
