Rising from an urn-shaped base with a scalloped foot, the composition has a balanced, sculptural silhouette.The warm ivory glaze, with soft tonal variations, gentle craquelure, and subtle kiln speckling, enhances the tactile, hand-modeled surfaces. The upper section lifts off, allowing it to be adapted as a lamp if desired. Overall condition is good, with minor losses that do not detract form overall impact. Signed LD on a leaf. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\nIntended for festive tables, consoles, or credenzas, it serves as a lasting bouquet with artistic warmth and character. The removable upper section and central aperture suggest it was conceived with the possibility of lamp conversion, reflecting the interwar embrace of electric light, when decorative ceramics were often designed to adapt to modern interiors. Placed on a console beneath a gilt mirror, centered on a dining table as a permanent floral accent, or mounted as a lamp on a nightstand, it lends poetic relief and gentle height to both classical and contemporary interiors. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 15¼\" high x 13¾\" diameter    \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 39cm high x 35cm diameter  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52919662510418,"sku":"24053","price":2385.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC06703_5b6fd6a5-09cb-4e67-be79-8c17d3efd88e.jpg?v=1773233929","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/substantial-hand-modeled-ceramic-floral-bouquet-centerpiece-151-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
