Camille Fauré - Vase - Raised enamels on silver foil and copper base - Art Deco - Signed

Exceptional pear-shaped copper dinanderie vase with raised enamels over silver foil.
Signed by the renowned enameller Camille Fauré (1874–1956) in Limoges, France.

Signature C.FAURE.Limoges at the bottom of the decoration (see last photo).

All-around floral decoration (gentians, daisies, poppies...) and leaves in impressively vivid colors, forming a true explosion of flowers.
The color palette offers a wide range of shades, and the enameling is thick; a true gem.

The base bears a label from the L. Baylot jewelry store in Bourganeuf, where it was purchased (not far from his workshop in Limoges).
Given the considerable value of these objects, it was very common at the time to see them sold in prestigious shops; the same was true of pieces by Gallé, Daum, Lalique...
It is important to preserve these labels, as they help trace the object's history and add value to the piece.

Entirely handmade in the late Art Deco period (1930–1940).

The technique of coating a copper piece with a layer of pure silver, then adding enamels and finally firing it (one firing per color) was perfectly mastered by the Camille Fauré workshop. This is what made this great name so renowned and its works so highly valued on the art market.

Excellent condition: no cracks, hairline cracks, missing enamel or chips, and no restorations.
A few tiny areas of oxidation can be seen on the neck and base; this is typical of this type of piece due to the silver layer covering the copper.
The rims around the neck and base are present and undamaged.

Approximate dimensions (in centimeters):

Height 15 cm
Neck diameter 3 cm
Base diameter 8.5 cm
Body width (at its widest point) 11.5 cm
Weight 320 grams
