Description
A decorative Gouda pottery vase in the France pattern — hand-painted with bird, flower and foliage motifs in a warm palette of blue, green, yellow and earthy brown on a pale ground.
Zuid-Holland was one of the leading Gouda pottery studios of the early 20th century, producing hand-painted art pottery that is now keenly collected for its distinctive palette and painterly quality. The France pattern on this model 284X vase features a softly rounded form with a hand-painted bird perched among flowers and foliage, rendered in the characteristic Gouda palette of muted blues, greens, yellows and earthy browns against a pale cream ground. The glazed interior and well-potted form are typical of the studio's quality output.
