Céramique d'art de bordeaux earthenware factory. Cab developed avant-garde production, tinged with art nouveau and art deco styles, and participated in the great primavera adventure by producing pieces for the printemps department store. This large vase, with a spherical body and a hemmed neck, features a superb blue glaze with nuanced drips on a raspberry red background. It is impressive for its size and the vibrancy of its colors. It is a typical piece of 1920s production, with a simple form that showcases the potters' expertise in glazing and mastery of firing.

the large spherical vase is made of glazed stoneware from the art deco period. It is stamped cab made in france on the back and numbered 16. It is in very good condition.

27cm diameter, 28cm height.
