Dating to approximately 1927–1933, it represents the continuation of the St. Lukas tradition following the closure of the original Utrecht factory in 1923.\u003cbr\u003eThe vase is finished in a rich oxblood red flambé glaze and decorated with bold black stylized floral motifs that partially encircle the upper body. This striking combination of deep red ground and silhouetted botanical decoration became one of the defining characteristics of the Maarssen period, creating a sophisticated yet dramatic design that captures the elegance of Dutch Art Deco ceramics.\u003cbr\u003eIts graceful baluster form, broad shoulders and gently flared neck give the vase an impressive architectural presence. At an impressive 12½ inches in height and weighing just over five pounds, it is considerably larger than the cabinet-sized examples most frequently encountered and was undoubtedly intended as an important decorative display piece.\u003cbr\u003eThe underside bears the \"Maarssen Made in Holland\" backstamp together with the impressed triangular factory mark and hand-painted model number 110, identifying it as production from the Maarssen factory during the late 1920s or early 1930s.\u003cbr\u003eToday, St. Lukas and Maarssen pottery is appreciated for its distinctive Art Deco styling, exceptional glazing techniques and important place within the history of Dutch art pottery. Large examples such as this are encountered far less frequently than their smaller counterparts, making this a particularly desirable piece for collectors of Gouda and Dutch ceramics or anyone seeking a bold Art Deco statement for the home.\u003cbr\u003eMeasurements\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 12½ inches\u003cbr\u003eMaximum diameter: approximately 8 inches\u003cbr\u003eWeight: just over 5 pounds\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eExcellent condition.
