Vaas met deksel met het huis De Paauw 1896

This covered vase was produced by the N.V. Haagsche Plateelfabriek Rozenburg, though it's difficult to put an exact date on the piece. Rozenburg was known for its distinctive, high-quality porcelain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The factory embraced the Art Nouveau style, characterized by organic motifs and flowing lines. The depiction of 'Huis De Paauw,' a stately home, reflects the cultural and social values of the time. This piece can be seen as an expression of national pride and identity through its depiction of local landmarks. It invites us to consider the relationship between art, industry, and the promotion of cultural heritage. The attention to detail in the floral designs contrasts with the architectural rendering, creating a visually stimulating piece that evokes a sense of both natural beauty and structured elegance.
