AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exceptional glazed ceramic collectible vase, an iconic piece of mid-20th century French production. This helicoidal movement model (freeform shape) perfectly illustrates the stylistic daring of the 1950s. It combines a rough, organic exterior texture, known as “sea foam” (fat lava), with a glossy, luminous button-yellow interior, creating a highly sought-after modernist contrast.
Highlights for the Collector:
• Double Authentication: A piece bearing both the turquoise handwritten signature of Robert Dupanier at the base and the original paper label from Atelier Le Mûrier (Paris-Fresnes).
• History: Robert Dupanier, though based in Fresnes, produced pieces whose aesthetics rivaled the great Vallauris names of the time. His collaboration with Atelier Le Mûrier (founded by Gustave Reynaud) is historically proven here by the label.
• Design: Dynamic, asymmetrical silhouette, a superb decorative piece for a vintage or contemporary interior.
Condition and Dimensions:
• Condition: Excellent state of preservation. No flaw, no chips, no restorations. The interior glaze remains perfectly glossy.
• Height: 35 cm
• Width: 15 cm
Fast and secure shipping.
