Ceramic vase in German style

A glazed ceramic vase in the German Art Nouveau style, made of bronze. Most likely, it is a stoneware piece with a light blue glaze on a dark green background. The vase has a wide ovoid shape with diagonal ridges and a wide opening. It is mounted on a square base. At each corner, there are four stylized elongated posts that end in two curved handles or a peacock-eye pattern with corresponding cabochons made of opalescent glass. There is a faint press mark under the glaze. On the mounting plate, an inscription is engraved that reads: "Donated by individual cyclists of Düsseldorf for the best floral decoration of an individual cyclist. XXI Bundestag D.R.B. 1904." The height of the vase is 22.7 cm. In 1904, the Federal Festival of the German Cyclists' Association took place in Düsseldorf. Similar vases were produced, in particular, by the firms Scharvogel, Hank, and Merkelbach.
