Vase with lilies on a light blue background
Liberty
This vase, with its simple shape, low flared neck, and wavy rim at the mouth, is distinguished by a precious hand-painted decoration featuring white lilies on a pale sky-blue background. The shape of the flowering stem remains the same and is repeated identically three times on the body. The rim is outlined by a gold trim that follows the contour of the porcelain profile.
Vases of this shape were presented at the 1902 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art in Turin, in the dining room designed by Giovanni Buffa for the Richard-Ginori pavilion. The ornaments offered at that time by the Manifattura on this type of object mainly depicted flowers with leaves and curving stems on backgrounds in delicate pastel colors, in line with the Art Nouveau style developed in Doccia by artistic director Luigi Tazzini.
