Rare Pair of Arnhem Art Nouveau/secessionist Twin-handled Glazed Vases

1900 - 1920
Description

This rare pair of Arnhem Art Nouveau/Secessionist twin-handled glazed vases features a distinctive floral design with thin blue lines, floral decoration, and crazing throughout, with a small base rim chip to one. Origin: Manufactured by the Arnhemsche Fayencefabriek in the Netherlands, likely between 1907 and 1920. Design: Designed by Klaas or Jacob Vet, showcasing characteristic Art Nouveau floral motifs.Dimensions: These specific vases measure approximately 27 cm height. Incredibly stylish and highly decorative.

Klaas and Jacob Vet were Dutch brothers and renowned masters of early 20th-century Art Nouveau (Nieuwe Kunst) pottery. They founded two significant ceramic factories in the Netherlands, celebrated for their matte white glazes, delicate linear decorations, and stylized natural motifs.Key Milestones and FactoriesJB. Vet & Co. (Purmerend, 1903–1906): The brothers pooled their expertise—Klaas as a modeller and Jacob as a pottery painter—to establish their first factory. This venture became known for its graceful simplicity and linear designs.Arnhemsche Fayencefabriek (Arnhem, 1907–1917): After a devastating fire destroyed the Purmerend factory, the brothers relocated to Arnhem to continue their production. It is here they produced some of their most famous Art Nouveau and Art Deco designs, including functional clocks and vases

Arnhem pottery, particularly from factories such as the Arnhemse Fayencefabriek and Gelria, is renowned for its strong Art Nouveau and Art Deco designs, which share the elegant, flowing floral motifs of Rozenburg. Established by artisans formerly from the prominent De Distel and Rozenburg factories, Arnhem pieces frequently feature high-quality, hand-painted botanical decors on a creamy background

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.

Dutch Art Nouveau and Secessionist ceramics from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are recognised for their linear, botanical motifs and stylized organic forms. Factories in regions such as Arnhem produced earthenware using muted colour palettes, underglaze painted decoration, and distinctive structural handles integrated directly into the vase body.

These ceramic pieces were typically constructed from moulded or wheel-thrown earthenware clay. They were finished with underglaze paints and covered in transparent or semi-opaque lead glazes, which frequently developed a characteristic fine crackle or crazing pattern over time.

Authentic items usually feature stamped, painted, or impressed factory marks on the base, often including model numbers or decorator initials. The decoration exhibits hand-painted execution rather than modern transfer printing, paired with epoch-appropriate glaze crazing and authentic minor surface wear.

Pairings of graphic, organic-patterned ceramics complement minimalist contemporary interiors by adding visual texture and architectural historical contrast. Displaying a balanced pair on a sleek sideboard, console, or mantelpiece highlights their graphic profiles and natural colour palette.

Earthenware with crazed glazes should never be submerged in water or subjected to harsh liquid detergents, as moisture can penetrate the porous clay body underneath. Dust gently with a clean, dry microfiber cloth and keep the items away from extreme temperature changes or high humidity.
