The piece is distinguished by its deep blue glaze enhanced with subtle vertical flowing effects, characteristic of Pointu’s work during the interwar period.
Produced in Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye, a historic center of French stoneware, this vase reflects the artist’s mastery of form and glaze. Léon Pointu, son of ceramist Jean Pointu, developed a personal style combining simple, balanced volumes with rich, expressive glazing techniques.
His work evolved in the 1920s–1930s toward more sculptural shapes and vibrant finishes, often incorporating flowing glaze effects similar to those seen on this example.
Both decorative and collectible, this piece is a fine representation of early 20th-century French studio ceramics, bridging Art Nouveau influences and the emerging Art Deco aesthetic. This piece has an attribution mark,
