Art Deco ceramic vase from France, dating to 1930–1940, in excellent condition with minimal signs of wear, measuring 13.5 cm high and 8 cm in maximum diameter, featuring a multicoloured crystalline glaze and a hand-painted monogram on the base.
Description from the seller
Special Art Nouveau vase with crystalline dripped glaze and hand-painted monogram – probably early 20th century
Elegant and decorative ceramic vase with an exceptionally beautiful glaze, executed in the characteristic style of European art pottery from the early 20th century.
The vase features a refined, organic shape with a broad, bulbous base that gracefully transitions into a long, slender neck with a gently flaring rim.
Particularly striking is the stunning multicolored glaze. Intense cobalt blue and olive green glaze streams flow from the neck over a soft turquoise ground. The subtle crystalline structures and delicate craquelé give the surface a lively and unique texture.
The combination of the flowing form and the experimental glaze aligns with the aesthetics of Art Nouveau and early European art pottery.
Signature and provenance
The underside bears a conspicuous hand-painted monogram in brown, presumably consisting of the gracefully intertwined letters A and B.
The exact manufacturer has not been identified with certainty. The monogram is clearly visible in the detail photos.
Dimensions
- Height: 13.5 cm
- Maximum diameter: 8 cm
Condition
The vase is in perfect condition, with no chips, cracks, or restorations. The fine craquelé is part of the glaze surface.
Special features
A charming and characterful collectible for lovers of Art Nouveau, European art pottery, and distinctive glaze techniques.
