Collector’s Notes
Barbotine is a slip-decorating method where liquid clay is applied in raised relief, often used for naturalistic flowers, leaves, and fruit motifs. French majolica and barbotine pieces were especially popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with Art Nouveau designs favoring flowing lines, florals, and sculptural decoration.
A sweet little floral vase with enough Art Nouveau drama to make a bookshelf feel like it has opinions.
