Rare large fine earthenware vase from Bordeaux signed by the manufacturer Jules Vieillard & Cie *, with Japanese decor of branches of apple blossoms wrapped around the vase with green background, base and border with stylized friezes, placed on a tripod harness in carved wood claw feet, from around 1878-1885 XIXth century.
This vase is in good condition and is of exceptional quality.
A similar vase model of the same dimensions (with a bronze mount and placed on a wooden harness) is currently kept at the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design in Bordeaux (see last photo). A preparatory drawing is also kept at the Museum. This model of vase is represented in the Catalog of the Universal Exhibition of Nice (1883-1884).
