AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
a particularly characterful and historically interesting French Art Deco small vase (oval jug-shaped with handles). This unique object is fully documented on the underside and signed in the wet clay with white porcelain paint.
• Factory mark: featuring the rare, embossed factory mark FBW (Faïencerie de Badonviller, France).
• Dating: hand-dated exactly to “oct. 1925” (octobre 1925), placing the object squarely in the bloom period of early Art Deco.
• Signature: bearing the hand-painted artist/plate painters initials P.L.B.
• Decoration: decorated with a beautifully vibrant marbled engobe (slipware / barbotine technique) in a bold palette of yellow, green, blue, red and black.
A wonderful collectible object that perfectly reflects the transition between traditional French folk art and the emerging Art Deco.
Condition: In good, authentic vintage condition with normal signs of aging appropriate to an age of over 100 years (see photos for an accurate personal impression of the edges and the handles).
