Large Central European vase, ca 1900.
Hand painted porcelain.
With label of the store G. Cuspinera, Barcelona.
Numbering on the back.
Measurements: 49 x 28 x 23 cm.

Large porcelain vase of ovoid and stylized body, with short neck and slightly exvasada mouth, flanked by two high handles of curved profile. The hand-painted decoration is in blue tones on a white background, with a large central motif of a bunch of grapes accompanied by vine leaves, in a composition of naturalistic taste.

The piece responds to the decorative language of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a time when European ceramics and porcelain frequently incorporated plant motifs treated with soft chromatic gradients. The use of a bluish palette, applied in a diffused manner, gives the whole a delicate and ornamental aspect.
