An exceptional Art Deco ceramic trumpet vase by Jean Gerbino, crafted in Vallauris, France, circa 1930s. Known for his pioneering approach to neriage ceramics, Gerbino developed a distinct process that combined coloured clays into precise mosaic compositions, without the use of surface glaze. This vase is a perfect example of that technique, revealing both his technical abilities and inventive visual language. Its flared trumpet form is constructed from thousands of meticulously shaped clay tesserae in tones of Verdigris, earthy taupe, and graphite grey, offset by vivid accents in cobalt, ochre, and rust. Around the upper collar, a continuous frieze of Celtic knotwork and stylised rosettes is built directly into the body—each motif formed through embedded pattern rather than applied decoration. Balanced on a circular foot and notable for its harmonious lines and surface complexity, the piece reflects the hybrid spirit of 1930s French Art Deco: part traditional craft, part modernist experimentation. Condition: Very good vintage condition. Minor, stable nicks to the inner rim and base edge—subtle and not visually distracting. Dimensions: Height: 19 cm Diameter: 14.5 cm This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
