Rare Covered Art Deco Jar with Rabbit Finial by Gensoli for Sevres, Blue & Gray
About the Item
Both whimsical and high-style, this remarkable Art Deco covered jar is decorated on its sides with a sophisticated pattern of chevron, zigzag and wave motifs executed in deep, rich slate, gray and ruddy brown glazes. The lid features a rabbit finial sitting in a pool of radiating, rich glazes. The artist was Maurice Gensoli, who had worked at the famed Sevres porcelain manufactory since the early 1920s, and became the head decorative painter there in 1927, the year this piece was made. Gensoli had a deep knowledge of chemistry, enabling him to perfect various firing and resistant enameling techniques and develop rich, deep glazes such as those evident here.

Maurice Gensoli
Working from 1921 as a decorator at Sèvres and from 1927 as the director of its design studio, Maurice Gensoli remained with the firm until his retirement in 1959.
Gensoli led the ceramics department at Sèvres toward Cubism, designing simple and segmented beaker shapes that were to be decorated with brightly colored heroic figures and idealized landscapes.
Ceramics in the shapes of stylized waves, sea shells, exotic animals and human figures also emerged from the factory during Gensoli's tenure. Elegant undulating bottle vases and chargers with whimsical decorations including star bursts, crackles, and mortared stone became the norm in the 1950s, demonstrating that Gensoli and those working under him looked tirelessly for fresh inspiration in order to keep Sèvres at the cutting edge of current fashion.
