Very large coloquinte vase from the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres. Hard porcelain with gold decoration of water lily leaves and butterflies on a shaded midnight-blue ground. Neck and heel highlighted with a gilded listel border. Green triangular stamp dated 1902.
The coloquinte vase is a reference to its original shape, inspired by the vegetables of the cucurbit family, which are not edible but often used as decorative gourds.
