This charming faience bud vase was created by the famous Keller and Guérin (K&G) in Lunéville, France. The pattern is Les Coqs (the roosters), also known as Chanticleer Ware, featuring a colorful hand painted scene of a rooster flanked by flowering plants.
The mark stamped on the bottom of the vase was used from 1880 to 1922, when the Keller and Guérin families sold the firm to Édouard Fenal. The mark includes a crown, since in 1750 or so, the factory acquired the distinction of Manufacture Royale, created under Louis XIV for luxury goods.
The petite vase measures 6 inches tall to the top of its blue rim, 2 1/2 inches across the bottom and weighs 6 ounces. Other than a bit of shelf soiling on the dry foot rim, it is in immaculate, like-new condition and absolutely enchanting.
𖤐 A chanticleer is a proud rooster, the main character in Geoffrey Chaucer’s "The Nun's Priest’s Tale" from The Canterbury Tales.
