An Art Nouveau planter pot in blue with floral motifs, crafted by Gustave Asch for the Sainte Radegonde manufactory in Rodez, Aveyron, during the early 1900s.

Signed on the base with both the Sainte-Radegonde “Ax” mark and Menard-Gimet Cusset-Vichy stamp, this vase bridges the work of two prominent ceramic houses.

The vase displays a fine craquelure consistent with its age.
