Rozenburg vase 7 inch High with Bleu Abstract Decor from 1894

Description

This small Art Nouveau pottery vase was made in 1894 and manufactured by the Dutch pottery factory Rozenburg from The Hague. The vase has a short foot, a convex belly and a notch under a long slender neck. It is painted with a beautiful, abstract decor in different shades of blue, with dark red and bright yellow details. The vase is nearly 18 cm or 7 inch high, 7 cm or 2,75 inch wide. It is signed with the factory name Rozenburg Den Haag (The Hague), the factory logo, depicting a stork and the letter L, the year letter for the year of production 1894. There is no other signature of a painter, so the artist is unknown. The vase is not in a perfect condition. There is a chip on both the neck and the foot. These have not been concealed professionally and thus are reasonably visible (see photos). And a hole has been drilled in the bottom, the vase probably once served as a lamp base. Despite the damage, this is a surprising and beautiful specimen early Rozenburg.
