Antique slip pot – Le Bruyn factory, 1930s-1950s

A planter that catches everyone's eye! Antique slip piece from the Le Bruyn factory from the 1930s-1950s. Its raised art deco decoration of stylized foliage and bunches of grapes, highlighted by an exceptional color – a flamboyant enamel in violet and purple tones veined with darker highlights – gives it a unique and refined character. We love its geometric shape with cut sides, typical of the art deco aesthetic, its rare enamel, much more unusual than the traditional greens and browns of slip planters. Stamp of the Le Bruyn factory: The capital letter "B", accompanied by the number 23, numbering practices at De Bruyn, even if sometimes more commonly there is also a marine anchor in addition. The Gustave De Bruyn earthenware factory (1838–1916) was founded in Lille, in the Fives district, by Gustave De Bruyn, from a line of Belgian potters. End of the company in 1962. As a decoration, it can accommodate an indoor plant, serve as a decorative pot or simply be displayed as a collector's item. Its style goes just as well with a chic flea market atmosphere as with a more contemporary interior where it will act as a colorful and original touch. Height 14, diameter at the base 14.5 cm, diameter at the opening 16 cm, 21 cm at the widest point. Good general condition, shiny enamel, some slight signs of use normal for its age, cracks inside related to time, a very barely visible hairline crack and a mini chip on one side at the base (see photos). A rare model, both decorative and sought-after, ideal for collectors or lovers of unique pieces.
