PV PEASANT VILLAGE Pair of Vases Majolica Pottery Rectangular Raised Flowers VTG

These two exquisite vases are hard to part with because they are so gorgeous! Measuring 6" tall by 5" wide x 2" deep and crafted in England, this vintage pair of Majolica rectangular vases features a single raised flower on the front of each. The flowers resemble Capriola cosmos with their yellow centers and light pink inner petals that darken to a deep rose red, surrounded by light green leaves. Each handpainted flower rests on a white background while a raised beaded light yellow border sourrounds all sides of the vase--front, sides and back--adding to the vases' overall beauty. They are truly stunning! Despite their age, these vases remain remarkably flawless, free from any chips, cracks, crazing, or flea bites, though the bottom of the inside of each vase has accumulated some dust over time. This pair of vases would make a striking display in any room and in any decor. They'd look beautiful resting on shelves, a bookcase, a fireplace mantel, in a nursery and more! The makers mark on the bottom of each is the letters "PV" in a circle, signifying that these are "Peasant Village" pieces. The bottom of each vase is also stamped "Made in England." Peasant Village began trading in the 1920s, reaching its peak activity during the 1940s and 1950s. This set of vases is definitely vintage and likely not far from reaching antique status!
