Art Nouveau pottery by Charles Greber. Beauvais, France, circa 1920.

Magnificent art nouveau vase with a stunning glaze in flamed stoneware. Made by charles gréber in his studio in beauvais, france, in the early 20th century. Excellent condition. Signed by the artist. A renowned ceramist, charles gréber (beauvais 1853-1935) left a lasting mark on beauvais ceramics and developed the family business, established by his father in 1870, while also making a name for himself. Once johann peters gréber handed over management of his beauvais stoneware manufacturing company to his two sons (1880-1899), they continued to produce salt-glazed stoneware, according to the regional tradition. However, the geometric decoration moved towards naturalism, in line with the popular trends of the time. Grapevine branches, wreaths, oak leaves, and realistic scenes are now found on stoneware. Following the parisian evolution, they also began to produce glazed and architectural ceramics, as well as glazed ceramics, in a green watercolor. The objects made during these years of collaboration are signed, every other time, with an intaglio engraving of the letters "gb" (gréber beauvais) in an oval shape. After the death of their father in 1898, the two brothers separated and charles took over the family pottery factory from 1899 to 1933. There he developed architectural ceramic cladding and flamed stoneware, which would henceforth become specialties of the gréber company. He quickly acquired great notoriety and won several awards at national and international exhibitions, for example the title of "chevalier de la légion d'honneur" in 1926.
