The vase’s design draws on Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Asian-inspired aesthetics, with an almost Japanese influence in its design.

The lower portion of the vase is painted in a deep, vivid cobalt blue, transitioning smoothly into a more subdued dress blue midsection, evoking a sense of serene flow. The hand-painted floral motifs, which swirl like fan-shaped blossoms or leaves, are rendered in varying shades of teal, giving the piece depth and movement. These patterns are contrasted by rich, dark wood-like branches, adding a naturalistic element that winds across the vase, anchoring the bold botanical forms.

In excellent condition, the vase retains the original Bruggeman & Co. sales tag, providing provenance and historical context, making it a highly collectible piece of Gouda pottery. This exceptional vase would serve as a standout decorative piece, particularly for those with a taste for Asian-inspired design or the decorative styles of Dutch Art Nouveau.
