Floral Ceramic Vase Inspired by Georges de Feure

This French Art Nouveau porcelain ceramic vase by Georges de Feure features a blue and pink floral decoration on a glazed traditional cream-white ground. Each of the gently colored blooms creating the dynamic border around this vase have been roughly deconstructed into architectural facets, as have their elongated stems, which reach downward to create a second and then third tier of similar decoration. The effect is one of rigid structural beauty that poetically contrasts the rounded, romantic form of the vase.
