About the Item

One of the finest pieces of Art Deco porcelain we have ever seen, and probably the greatest work ever executed by Adrien Leduc for Sevres, this large double-gourd vase depicts in great detail scenes from the life of a Breton village along the sea. Villagers are shown along the sea cliffs, with their homes and sailing ships in the distance, with a horizontal band of stylized fish, waves and wind dividing the landscape scenes. Leduc has used brilliant shades of deep periwinkle, ivory and gold to paint his scenes, and the result is large and deeply impressive. The bottom is well marked with the Sevres logo, the artist's signature, and old labels.

One of the rarest Galle images the Bretton Fishing Fleet cameo vase -depicting a flotilla of manned fishing boats of many sizes and designs and incredible detail many with sails up and many with just rigging. Signed, intaglio cut, Provost MkVI c1925-36 -see 4th image and chart at end for dating. This an absolute tour-de-force of the cameo technique -partly done by acid cut back, but most of the fine outline work (rigging etc) is done by fine wheel cutting. Very few other examples of this vase are known and they mostly reside in museums. Galle vases featuring sailing ship vases...
