This is a small green glazed ceramic vase, adorned with golden enamel details. It was crafted between 1930 and 1935 in the Poët-Laval area, a French village founded in the 12th century, located in the Drôme department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
The technique used for this piece is Barbotine ceramic, known for the application of hand-painted reliefs and vibrant glazes. Although this particular vase does not feature prominently raised reliefs, the intricate golden finishes and overall design reflect the decorative aesthetic typical of the period when Barbotine ceramics were popular (late 19th to early 20th century). It is likely an example of ceramics inspired by this tradition but reinterpreted with a more modern stylistic touch. The gilded border was probably created using golden enamel or metallic luster, a technique often seen in high-quality decorative objects. The bottom of the vase bears the mark "P.L." (Poët-Laval), accompanied by the inscription "France" and the code "V.22 bis." Poët-Laval is renowned for its tradition of artisanal ceramic production, celebrated across Europe for its craftsmanship and distinctive design. The region’s manufacturers were known for their meticulous attention to detail and innovative techniques. This Art Deco-style vase is a perfect blend of functionality and decoration. The combination of vibrant green and golden accents makes it an ideal piece for collectors or as an elegant decorative item. The fluted lines add both a tactile and visual texture that enhances the design’s sophistication. A true masterpiece of French craftsmanship, this vase embodies the artistic expertise and refined taste of the early 20th century. Its brilliant green glaze, enriched with radiant golden details, harmonizes with a timeless yet modern design. Perfect for enhancing a sophisticated space or elevating a collection, this piece seamlessly combines tradition and style. The exceptional craftsmanship and rarity of the mark make it a highly coveted and valuable item, sure to capture the attention and admiration of art pottery enthusiasts. The vase is in good condition.
