29" Sarreguemines Chinoiserie Majolica Jardiniere Floor Vase

This tremendous faience jardiniere in the Chinoiserie style by Sarreguemines measures an impressive 29.5" high, 26" wide and 22" deep (74.9, 66.0 & 55.9 cm). The underside carries the impressed "SARREGUEMINES" mark in capitals and the style number "902". This piece likely dates from 1902, as the first digit of the style number typically refers to the size and the last two digits refer to the year of production. It weighs an estimated 80-110 lbs. Condition is excellent, with only a few unrepaired chips, one repaired flake chip along the base, one small unglazed area measuring 1/2" across, one visible hairline on one of the applied decorations, and no major restorations. It features elaborate foo dog (foo lion) masks and dolphins or sea serpents in high relief. Its dominant glazed colors are golden yellow and brown, and turquoise blue, and there is a hint of forest green and blue-green. There is no drain hole and the inside is clean. This item resides in our client's gallery on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City and may be seen in person by appointment.
