VASE #1 0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false SIZE: The vase is about 7 inches high and 5 inches across.The base glaze of this vase is I believe a salt glaze of multi color beige and umber.

This vase is decorated with large raised enamel "jewels." This vase is similar to the Amphora Gres-Bijou series of vases, introduced in 1904, while the Art Nouveau movement’s focus on floral was waning. It has a biomorphic look, with its rich finish, abstract bas-relief motifs and simulated jewels. It is an innovative vase of a soft stoneware body wtih an attractive distressed molted texture. .

There are no chips or cracks that we can see. There is glaze missing on one "wave" near the top. Shows through bluish white and is about 1/2". Believe that the glaze was just worn off.
