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 vase, with its ringed body and worked neck, features a beautiful gray-green glaze with nuanced drips, on a bold red background. It is a typical piece of 1920s production, with a simple form that showcases the potters' expertise in glazing and mastery of firing.

The vase is made of glazed stoneware, from the Art Deco period. It is stamped Made in France on the back and numbered 482.
