H.: 11,5 cm
Condition: Both restored with excessive overspraying.
Small jardinières as the present pair are rather rare. A pair of similar shape and size but with different decoration and without its stands is in the Musée des Arts décoratifs, (inv. no. 23371), illustrated in Lahaussois 1994, p. 44, ill. 25.
A larger, similar shaped (18 x 13 cm) jardinière is in the Rijksmuseum Twenthe, Enschede (inv. no. inv. BR0001 [R062]).
Another of rather similar shape is illustrated in Boyazoglu 1980, p.142, no. 149, where it is questionably described as a “container for schnapps in the shape of a vase.”
Another larger pair of similar shape is illustrated in Lavino 2002, p. 177. (source: Aronson.com)
