Vintage or antique pair of ceramic multi spout tulipiere vases features Art Deco style form with one larger central spout, surrounded by 4 shorter and smaller spouts and mounted on flattened rounded body with columnar stepped foot. The vases are decorated in striking drip glaze, reminiscent of modernist Western European art pottery pieces of the period; buttery yellow, caramel brown, turquoise blue, celadon green, cobalt blue, and dark brown colors flow over the vases' surfaces, creating an organic, modern, almost impressionistic composition. The vases are marked with the hand-written matching model/decor numbers, studio logo, and FRANCE on the bottoms; one of the vases still has the remnants of the paper sticker attached. Delcourt sold his artistic, high-end pieces through the studios at department stores, such as Primavera at Au Printemps and La Maîtrise at Galeries Lafayette, as well as other upscale stores in France, but we were unable to identify which store the sticker belongs to. Sculptural, decorative set with elegant form, bold, artistic glaze, and exceptional craftsmanship will make a great gift to a collector or design enthusiast and a perfect addition to a wide range of interiors, from Traditional to Art Deco, Eclectic, Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, Organic Modern, Mid Century Moden, Collected, or Contemporary. Henry Delcourt pottery was founded in 1903 by Jules Verlingue; in 1913 Verlingue partnered with Henri Delcourt, and in 1914 - acquired the HB Quimper pottery. Another chance in ownership happened around 1918, when the Manufacture de la Grande Maison HB, J. Verlingue and Co. was divided; Verlingue sold his shares in the company of Boulogne-sur-Mer to Delcourt, receiving Delcourt's shares of Quimper in return. The previous ties to Quimper pottery help to explain some stylistic similarities between the souvenir and tourist-oriented pieces, made by Delcourt pottery, and those of HB Quimper, but Delcourt's high-end, modern, more unique art pottery and ceramic pieces appear to be independent from the Quimper influence. In late 1910s and early 1920s Henry Delcourt, a sole owner of the studio at that time, become one of the biggest names in French Art Deco ceramic and porcelain, with close ties to artists such as Jacques Adnet, Louis Sue, and Sibylle May...

Landshut artist Peter Landesberger cachepot plus a matching vase 1960s measurements: cachepot: height : 18cms ~ Ø 22cms ~ weight: 1422 grs vase : height: 22cms ~ Ø 14cms ~ weight: 842 grs Brush mark LP Landshut, a town in Bavaria, Germany, is known for its ceramics school and its historical significance. The construction of Landshut began in 1204 under the rule of Duke Ludwig of Bavaria. It was a typical Wittelsbach founding town and marked a new form of territorial politics for the Bavarian dukes. From 1231, Landshut became the residence of the Wittelsbach dynasty and the capital of the Duchy of Bavaria until 1255. Due to the division of Bavarian lands, Landshut alternated between being a capital and a residential town. The town thrived thanks to its location on the Isar River and its strategic positioning along trade routes. By the 14th century, Landshut had developed its Gothic town center, which remained largely unchanged until the 19th century. During the period from 1392 to 1503, Landshut experienced a prosperous and politically important era under the rule of the three "rich" Dukes Heinrich, Ludwig, and Georg. Landshut also gained prestige through the magnificent wedding of Duke George the Rich to the daughter of the Polish king...

A wonderfully glazed, beautifully crafted, and classically shaped vase/vessel by renowned Canadian master potter Brother Thomas Bezanson (1929-2007). Brother Thomas studied design at Nova Scotia College in the late 40s and early 50s, It was during this time that he discovered a love for the ceramic art form. In 1959 he became a monk and joined the Weston Priory, Vermont, a community of Benedictine men. Here he continued his art while also pursuing a degree in philosophy. In 1978 he traveled to Japan where he met and worked with five Japanese potters, designated “Living National Treasures” by the Japanese government. These particular artists and the time spent with them deeply influenced his work and his thought. In 1985, he became artist-in-residence at Mount Saint Benedict Monastery in Erie, Pennsylvania, where worked until his death in 2007. Brother Thomas was universally known and esteemed for his mastery of complex glazes and his adaptation and application of traditional Chinese and Japanese pottery methods and materials. The vase features a sumptuous green glaze that absolutely radiates in the light. The work is signed by Brother Thomas with his traditional signature and cipher. A special piece. Would be a great addition to any Brother Thomas or Mid-Century pottery/ceramics collection or make for an eye catching stand alone accent work in about any setting. His work can be found in numerous collections and international museums including: Aidekman Art Center, Tufts University, Medford, MA Allen Art Museum, Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH Art Complex Museum, Duxbury, MA Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL Bunting Institute, Radcliffe College, Cambridge, MA Canadian Museum of Civilization, Hull, Quebec, Canada Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, PA Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution, New York, NY Davis Museum and Cultural Center, Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA Dimock Gallery, George Washington University, Washington, DC Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY Fleming Museum, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA Framingham State University, Framingham, MA Hokkaido University, Hokkaido, Japan Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix, AZ Portland Museum of Art Portland, ME Pucker Gallery...
