A Pair of German Mettlach Pottery Vases, Circa 1890

19th century
Description

This finely detailed and stunning pair of German pottery vases was made at the Mettlach factory circa 1890. They were renowned for making this type of fine ware. These perfect pairs are luxuriously decorated in rich colours and gilt. Elegantly shaped with a flared foot supporting a bulbous, elliptical body with a tall, slender neck decorated with moulded bands terminating in a slightly flared neck. They have a central continuous panel of raised and incised foliate scrolls and flower heads over a stippled ground with multiple bands of delicate decorative boarders above and below. The neck is similarly decorated with smaller foliate scrolls over the same stippled ground and again with matching boarders above and below. These fine examples are in excellent original condition with no restoration. They are well marked on the underside with factory marks, US patent, Pattern number and artist mark.

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Mettlach pottery refers to stoneware and ceramic wares produced by the Villeroy & Boch factory in Mettlach, Germany, particularly renowned during the late 19th and early 20th centuries for intricate chromolith, incised, and relief-moulded designs.

Production involved fine stoneware or earthenware clays decorated using incised outlines filled with coloured enamel glazes, which were fired at high temperatures to produce a durable, moisture-resistant finish.

Authentic pieces typically feature impressed factory marks on the base, such as the abbey tower mark, along with form numbers, date codes, and distinctive crisp, incised enamel decoration over a textured ground.

Pairing antique ceramic vases on a contemporary sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table creates a balanced symmetrical arrangement, allowing earthen tones to contrast against neutral wall finishes.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or prolonged submersion in water.
