The circular earthenware bowl has a broad, rounded form, a gently rolled rim and a raised foot. A rich egg-yolk yellow glaze covers the interior and lower exterior, contrasted with an irregular band of turquoise drip glaze. The flowing boundary between the two colors creates an almost abstract decorative effect, with subtle brown and cream variations where the glazes meet. Fine craquelure is visible throughout the yellow glaze, adding depth and texture to the glossy surface. Founded in 1912 for the parisian department store printemps, atelier primavera was instrumental in introducing modern french decorative arts to a wider audience. Its innovative ceramics, furniture and decorative objects became closely associated with the development of art deco, notably through its participation in the influential 1925 paris international exhibition of decorative arts. Impressed to the underside with the primavera mark and model number 13108. The design is attributed to félix gête, possibly manufactured by céramique d'art de bordeaux (cab).
