An early 20th-century French Art Déco enameled blue ceramic sculpture presenting a stylized sailing ship with a bold, architectural presence. The piece exhibits precise detailing in the hull’s contours, the structured compartments, and the porthole-like openings, emphasizing the era’s fascination with geometric refinement. The deep blue enamel enhances the sculptural depth, interacting with light to accentuate its elegant lines and smooth surfaces. Resting on a rectangular base, the sculpture bears the signature of M. Coulon, while the underside features the stamp of Edition Kaza, confirming its provenance. The glazing technique gives the ceramic a lustrous, glass-like quality, enriching texture and color.

A testament to Art Déco aesthetics, this piece merges industrial precision with artisanal execution, capturing the movement’s balance between functionality and artistic expression. See less
