Detailed description
The barbotine technique is a ceramic decoration method that involves applying colored, liquid clay (barbotine) to the surface with a brush or by pouring, resulting in a painterly effect with a slightly relief-like pattern. It was primarily used in France during the 19th century.
Monumental, pair-made barbotine vases, with baluster bodies and wide, flared rims. The barrel shape is covered with a warm, honey and orange-colored glaze that is occasionally marbled. The body features large, plastically applied decorations: vine and berry garlands, large leaves, and several colorful parrots. The birds and flower heads play in vibrant pink, blue, green, and white glazes.
Inside it is white-glazed, with the base ring having the production number/sample number: 3781 and 5.
