Vintage & Modern Ceramics Auction

Beautiful and characteristic piece of French quality ceramics from the famous Émile Tessier workshop in Malicorne-sur-Sarthe. This white, glazed faience vase (also referred to as a 'gargoulette') is an exemplar of Tessier's unique style: a perfect balance between traditional forms and modernist, sculptural details.
The vase stands out for its rich decoration of hand-formed ceramic spirals around the body and the complex, double-turn handles that evoke braided rope. The glaze has the typical milky-white, soft shine for which the workshop is known.

The vase is missing a small chip (see photo) otherwise in pristine condition.
Of course this vase will be carefully packaged and shipped worldwide.

Prachtig en karakteristiek stuk Frans kwaliteitskeramiek uit het beroemde atelier van Émile Tessier in Malicorne-sur-Sarthe. Deze witte, geglazuurde faience vaas (ook wel 'gargoulette' genoemd) is een toonbeeld van Tessiers unieke stijl: een perfecte balans tussen traditionele vormen en modernistische, sculpturale details.
De vaas valt op door de rijke decoratie van handgevormde keramische spiralen rondom de buik en de complexe, dubbel gedraaide handvatten die doen denken aan gevlochten touw. Het glazuur heeft de typische melkwitte, zachte glans waar het atelier om bekend staat.

De vaas mist een klein chipje ( zie foto ) verder in ongeschonden staat.
Uiteraard wordt deze vaas zorgvuldig verpakt en wereldwijd verzonden.
