Offered is a stunning antique Art Deco earthenware powder jar by Les Émaux de Longwy, one of France’s most esteemed ceramic factories. Crafted circa 1930s, this round lidded box showcases the factory’s celebrated cloisonné-style enamel work, vibrant colors, and signature craquelure glaze over a cream-beige ground.
At the center of the design is a bold cobalt blue vase, bursting with stylized flowers: a golden yellow rose, marigold-like blooms, deep lavender grape-like clusters, and rich green serrated leaves—all outlined in black for dramatic Art Deco contrast. The colors are vivid and beautifully balanced, embodying the height of Longwy’s 1920s–1940s creative peak.
Stamped and numbered on the base with the official Longwy France mark, this finely made piece measures approximately 5.75 inches in diameter and 2.75 inches tall. Originally intended as a powder jar, it also makes a beautiful trinket or jewelry box, or a collector's display piece.
Longwy’s handcrafted cloisonné ceramics are highly collectible, and this rare floral model is both decorative and functional. A thoughtful gift for collectors, Art Deco lovers, or anyone who appreciates historic French artisan pottery.
