General Auction including Antiques & Collectables, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
A large two-handled earthenware vase of ovoid amphora form, featuring a flared rim and two small loop handles attached at the shoulder, tapering to a narrow base. The body is hand-painted with a large, loose floral spray in an impressionistic or watercolour style, featuring a palette of red, purple, and yellow with green foliage. The background consists of a cream-coloured glaze with mottled green and golden-brown tones, reminiscent of the Tiffany finish used by makers such as Royal Bonn. The rim and handles are finished with a streaked, dark green glaze. To the side of the lower body, there is a handwritten signature in dark slip reading Tayilh. This piece is characteristic of mid-20th century European decorative studio pottery, possibly of Mediterranean origin.
Condition report:
The vase is in good overall condition. There is minor surface wear and typical glaze irregularities consistent with hand-decorated earthenware of this period. No significant chips, cracks, or evidence of restoration are visible.
