BACS, Frog & Water Lily Vase
BACS, Frog & Water Lily Vase
This ovoid faience vase, crafted by the BACS workshops (Jean Barol, Marius Alexandre, Jean Carle, François Sicard), active from 1912 to 1914, embodies the elegance and creativity of the Art Nouveau movement. With its bulbous neck and richly adorned body featuring water lily leaves in low relief, enhanced by two delicately sculpted frogs, this piece is a true work of art.
The iridescent blue glazes blend harmoniously with the yellow and brown background, creating a refined and captivating contrast. The incised signature "BACS" and "M.A." attests to its authenticity and its connection to the master ceramists of the era.
Standing 23.4 cm tall, this rare vase is most likely a unique piece, ideal for collectors or art enthusiasts seeking exceptional objects. It is a timeless testament to the craftsmanship and creativity of the BACS workshops.
