known for her late art deco and organic shaped, sculptural mid-century modern ceramic pieces, this lovely piece, embodies her signature style, with its sculptural, corolla form, like flower petals, as well as its stunning, smooth enamel glaze, with celadon green hues, accented with subtle, nuances of gold, on the inner and outer edges at the top, making it both modernist and elegant all at once (see photos.)

under the base, the piece has impressed marks of the following:
- it's model # (9005)
- sc (the logo for saint-clément)
- france
- b. Letalle

an additional bonus: the vase also carries its original, maker's mark/manufacturing sticker (label) on the exterior
(see photos.)

piece is in overall very good, original and vintage condition, as it has been well cared for over the years. Some very light marks, signs of age, and previous use commensurate with time, as well as a patina of time, on the overall structure, edges, interior, foot and base, as can be expected for a piece of its age. (see photos.) no cracks or chips. Some small areas of slightly faded color and naturally occurring nuances during the enamel firing process (see photos.)

it has only been gently dusted with respect to its original patina of time.

a truly eye-catching accent piece, that will compliment any given space, depending on how one wishes to display it.

all photos taken in natural, indoor light, so colors may vary, based upon brightness, reflections, angles and perspective in which they are viewed.
