Limoges porcelain vase — Art Deco style

Literary snapshot, Erich Maria Remarque “Arch of Triumph” — Joan Madou: Outside the window of the Paris hotel, a fine, autumnal rain was falling, and the light of the street lamps dimly reflected on the wet asphalt. The room smelled of calvados and expensive perfumes as she, wrapped in a silk dressing gown, aimlessly wandered around the room, waiting for footsteps in the hallway. Her gaze stopped at an object on the dressing table — a delicate, bluish background, on which flowers bloomed in such bright and vivid colors that they seemed defiant in this gray twilight. The slender, geometrically precise form — six rigid facets — strangely contrasted with the fragility of the painted petals.

Her fingers lightly glided over the smooth surface, feeling the coolness of the porcelain, which slightly calmed her anxiety. This cool beauty with its gilded rim seemed like the last bastion of peace and elegance in a world inevitably sliding towards chaos; it was a quiet reminder of a time and art that can preserve spring even when outside there is dampness and uncertainty.

This magnificent and substantial Limoges porcelain vase is an outstanding example of ceramic and painting art, which has retained its appeal through decades. The vase’s shape represents the geometric trends of the late Art Deco period — its body is formed in a distinctive hexagonal shape that narrows upwards, creating a dynamic and elegant silhouette. On a soft bluish and pastel background, bright, intricately detailed asters and dahlias bloom, their color palette ranging from rich purples to golden yellows and whites.

Period of manufacture The vase is precisely dated. On its underside, there is a handwritten historical marking confirming its creation time: June 23, 1938.

Manufacturer / signature / stamp At the base of the vase, in red, there is a handwritten text: “Peinture. Main LE 23.6.38 Limoges“. This inscription confirms that the item was hand-painted in the prestigious Limoges region of France, known worldwide for its highest quality porcelain.

Application Thanks to its 31.5 cm height and stable, angular base, this vase is ideal for medium and large flower bouquets, especially autumn flowers that will resonate with its painting. It will serve as a wonderful centerpiece on a dresser, dining table, or console, bringing bohemian romance and historical elegance into the room.

Condition The item is in very good vintage condition. The porcelain is intact, without cracks or chips. The hand-painted floral motif has retained its color vibrancy and clarity. There is minor, natural wear on the upper gilded rim, consistent with the vase’s respectable age and confirming its authentic history. The condition of the item is fully reflected in the photographs.
