A bulbous ceramic vase produced in France in the early 20th century, decorated with a carefully balanced interplay of geometric and vegetal motifs characteristic of the Art Déco period. The rounded body is coated in a dark glazed ground that serves as a backdrop for angular forms, stylized leaves, and linear accents rendered in warm ochre, gold, and muted red tones. These elements are arranged in a rhythmic composition that emphasizes symmetry, contrast, and clarity of line, central principles of Art Déco design. The enameled and painted surface displays subtle variations in texture and opacity, revealing the hand-crafted process and layered application of glaze. Its compact, sculptural silhouette reinforces the decorative intent, allowing form and ornament to operate as a unified visual statement rooted in early modern French ceramic production. See less
