Elegantly formed with a deeply scalloped rim and matching lobed base, the vessel features twin acanthus-leaf handles that lend graceful movement to its silhouette. The body is decorated in relief with hunting scenes: on one side, a poised hunting dog moves through a wooded landscape; on the other, a hound retrieves game amidst foliage and water. The hand-applied glaze, in softly lustrous tones of aqua, sea green, rose, and warm ochre, displays pleasing depth and tonal variation, while the interior is finished in a traditional pale blue glaze. The piece remains in good overall condition, with age-appropriate wear and a visible restoration to the scalloped rim. Fine glaze crazing consistent with age is present.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEqually at home in a country house, hunting ranch, or refined urban interior, it brings a distinguished note of sporting charm to a mantel, console, or garden room. Beautiful as a cachepot for a leafy plant or seasonal arrangement, it is equally compelling displayed on its own, where its sculptural modeling and luminous glaze can be fully appreciated. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 9\" high x 12¼\" wide w\/ handles x 9½\" \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 23cm high x 31cm wide w\/ handles x 24cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52746078552402,"sku":"23866","price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC03925_20897519-ede6-425a-b125-5641d3401cc0.jpg?v=1771583164","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/french-majolica-planter-w-hunting-dog-relief-circa-1900-9-q","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
