Item Description
A rare and sculptural 19th century French faience tulipière from Moustiers, with an ornate form and finely detailed decoration. The central body is flanked by two winged sections and surmounted by a pointed lid, all raised on three shaped feet. Foliage ornaments accentuate its elegant silhouette.
The lid is pierced with fifteen holes to accommodate individual flower stems, while each side section offers a further twelve—allowing for abundant and varied floral arrangement.
Painted in the characteristic Moustiers palette of orange and green, the decoration centres on a rural scene depicting a figure in antique dress sowing seeds, set amidst trees and shrubs. Floral and geometric motifs complete the design. A striking and rare piece in excellent condition.
