{"product_id":"antique-delft-tile-polychrome-flower-vase","title":"Antique French Faience Tile | 17th Century Polychrome Flower Vase | Provence","description":"\u003cp\u003eFound at a grand foire outside of Paris, this 17th century faience tile has the kind of presence that you can simply feel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hand painted floral vase rises through the center in ochre, cobalt, and soft green, with fleur de lys anchoring each corner. The composition is balanced, confident, and still feels remarkably fresh four centuries later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt nearly 2 cm thick, it was made as part of an interior, likely set into a wall or fireplace. Traces of old mortar remain on the back as a quiet reminder of that earlier life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting is entirely freehand, fired in the grand feu tradition. Time has softened the colors just enough, giving it a warmth that can’t be replicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is wear along the edges and light glaze loss, exactly what you would expect from a piece made between 1620 and 1680, and exactly what gives it its depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLean it on a shelf, place it on the counter, use it as a paperweight or just let it find it's own space. It's beautiful no matter where you put it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52219973206359,"sku":"FAI-012","price":465.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-delft-polychrome-floral-vase-ceramic-tile-1.jpg?v=1772731530","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-delft-tile-polychrome-flower-vase","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
