Green Tulip Vase, Rozenburg, Den Haag

A Rozenburg Den Haag Art Nouveau large vase, decorated with a central stylised tulip surrounded by flowing leaves and ornamental foliage in shades of green, blue, white and brown. The organic decoration and elegant shape are characteristic of Rozenburg’s turn the century Jugendstil/Art Nouveau pottery. Founded in The Hague in 1883, Rozenburg became the leading Dutch Art Nouveau pottery factory, known for its experimental forms and richly painted floral designs. This piece was made in 1896. The base carries the painter/designer mark of Roelof Sterken. The vase is in very good condition, with a small damage on the back side, visible in the images.
