Museum Collector Vase (77 Cm) Villeroy&boch - Metllach 1895 Model 1538

* I would like to clarify that I am not a specialist in this field, but I have nevertheless managed to do some personal research: Vase by Villeroy & Boch Mettlach, 'collector's piece', made in 1895, inventory number (1538), dimensions: height 77 cm. **Metallized stoneware with a Japanese-style decoration of irises, hummingbirds, and water lilies in relief, along with a sunset, a blue sea, and a spiderweb. ***At the spout, the friezes are neo-classical with butterfly decoration; the lower frieze is neo-Greek. ***Bears the 'Mettlach' mark with its tower (see photo; firing flaw on the mark, but intact). ***** I suppose the firing(s) must have been a technical feat. Could you tell me more about this exceptional object? ****** The vase will be on display at 'Sablon Antiques Center' 39 Place du Grand Sablon, 1000 Brussels from Friday, February 6th.
