Produced mainly in the 1920s and 1930s, this model is highly prized for its streamlined and aerodynamic lines, typical of the 'Paquebot' movement of the era.
Large model in crackled earthenware (or crackle-glazed ceramic) typical of Art Deco.
You will see in the photographs a small restoration on a sail; otherwise, very good condition for this iconic piece.
