French Portieux Vallerysthal “Blue Quail” Pattern Bowls, Pair

Sold as presented; to be candled by Salvage Bohemia.

Variant sizes approx. 8 oz pour each / $2.30 oz

A striking pair of French ceramic bowls in the “Blue Quail” pattern by Portieux Vallerysthal, featuring richly detailed polychrome decoration of birds nestled among florals against a deep green ground. The interiors are finished with a delicate central bird vignette, while the exterior carries a continuous border of foliage, blooms, and perched birds framed by a stylized cartouche.

The crisp transferwork paired with hand-applied color gives these bowls both structure and vibrancy—hallmarks of Portieux Vallerysthal’s decorative wares. Beautiful for display on open shelving or layered into a collected table setting, where pattern and color bring depth and movement.
