Perfect condition.
This Rozenburg eggshell vase, created in 1909 by Sam Schellink, features a delicate painting of a purple flower. The quality of the artwork is exceptional, with the rich purple tone adding to the piece’s elegance. Standing at 18 cm (approximately 7.1 inches) in height, this vase exemplifies the pinnacle of Art Nouveau design.
Rozenburg’s eggshell porcelain, first perfected in 1899, became a sensation at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris, earning international acclaim and being acquired by prestigious museums like the Musée des Beau Arts in Paris and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The factory’s porcelain, characterized by its delicate, thin walls and intricate designs, remains a highlight of Art Nouveau in the Netherlands. The decor often reflects Asian influences, featuring motifs such as flowers, birds, fish, and insects. This vase is a pristine example of the artistic and cultural significance of Rozenburg’s work.
