AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art Deco vase in high-fired salt-glazed stoneware, with blended blue tones.
Labrec art stoneware, Maud model, circa 1910–1930. Labrec being the contraction of the two creators’ names.
The Labrut and Recullé workshops were located in Orléans from 1910. Production ceased in 1939.
Charles Labrut came from a family of ceramicists (in 1901 he even received a medal of honor for his salt-glazed wares) and his daughter would marry the son of industrialist Louis Recullé, who would develop the activity.
The house produced its art pieces on commission and sold them in Paris.
The high-fire salt-glazed stoneware is achieved by throwing salt onto the glazes during firing with the flame of the kiln. This technique was used in the Art Deco period, notably by Guérin.
Very complex to master, both to prevent pieces from breaking during firing and to ensure the execution of a decoration is pleasantly controlled.
The piece presents a 'bi-material' glaze effect, with a matte brown glaze background and glossy molten glazes.
The piece is shaped in the stylized onion form typical of the Art Deco period.
Good overall condition, a slight loss at the base; see photos.
Signed on the base in relief “Atelier d’art Labrec” as well as “Maud”.
Height 22 cm x diameter 14 cm
