Serving tray in pearly and iridescent enamel Verceram 1955

Here is a service tray that, well beyond its primary function, is a superb object that testifies to the artistic and modernist will of its creator. This very graphic and creative model came out of the imagination of mr caux, then director and creator for the verceram brand located in montreuil from 1930 to 1971. He decided to take a very avant-garde turn in the 50s, creating models with abstract shapes, tense curves, and radical color contrasts. In addition to the originality of his creations, he played with materials by creating iridescent metallic effects very delicate to achieve. Thus, pearly or iridescent enamel makes its appearance. Most of its production is two-tone. On this model, the pearly white unites perfectly with the iridescent black blue. It is stamped under the base. The V hallmark in an oval identifies the brand. The 4-digit number 6717 corresponds to the model. Finally, the 2-digit number (55) engraved in hollow is there to number the copy of this model of which there should not be more than 100 pieces. This service tray is in very good condition with some traces of use. The tray has no chipped or cracked. Its brass gooseneck handle is impeccable.
