Art Deco vase in green earthenware – Saint-Clément, B. Letalle – 18 cm

Art Deco vase in Saint-Clément earthenware, covered with a deep glossy green glaze. Its silhouette combines an ovoid body, a slightly flared neck, and a ringed base. Geometric relief applications, composed of ribbed and ringed patterns arranged symmetrically, structure the shape and give it a character typical of decorative arts from the interwar period. The shades and variations of the glaze pleasantly animate the monochrome surface. The underside bears the relief number 4159, the logo of the Saint-Clément pottery, the mention France, and the name B. Letalle. Height: 18 cm. Width: 13 cm. Depth: 13 cm. Average vintage condition. A long crack is visible from the upper part and extends down the body. The glaze also shows a network of crazing, as well as some superficial scratches and signs of use. The unglazed base shows normal wear. A characterful vase to display on a console, a bookshelf, or among a collection of Art Deco ceramics.
