CAB Bordeaux Art Deco Stoneware Vase, 1920

About the Item

French Art Deco ceramic vase by Céramique d'Art de Bordeaux - CAB, France, 1920s. Stoneware. Turquoise cover. Height: 7.9"(20cm), Diameter : 9.85"(25cm). Marked under the base "CAB 4830 France" (see photo). Some small imperfections on the cover due to the technique of this period (see photo). CAB was one of the main suppliers of the PRIMAVERA studio (Le Printemps). Condition : very good. The Céramique d'Art workshop in Bordeaux (1919-1947) focused on artisanal work. The existing workshop, bought to launch this new activity, was located at 39 avenue Saint-Amand in Caudéran, in the Bordeaux area, and was not suitable for large-scale manufacturing. Jean Mérillon, its founder, is a wine merchant by trade. Just after the First World War, in 1919, he bought this small business at the age of sixty-seven. In fact, he satisfies an old passion for ceramics. Great-grandson of the Bordeaux earthenware maker Boyer, he trained from time to time in earthenware and enamel work, as a dabbler but with a certain talent, notably with Vieillard. In his old age, he surrounded himself with friends, notable Bordeaux - merchants, industrialists, politicians, lawyers - interested in the decorative arts, to set up Céramique d'Art de Bordeaux. The artistic and technical direction is entrusted to Félix Gête, a former tailor in Paris. The objects that came out of the CAB workshops immediately broke with what had been done in Bordeaux until then and were part of the currents of decorative arts which at that time were seeking to renew themselves in France. The production is centered on vases, dishes and abandons the utilitarian register. CAB was one of the main suppliers of the PRIMAVERA studio (Le Printemps).

ODETTA QUIMPER Art Deco Stoneware Vase, 1920
By René Beauclair
Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR
A stunning French Art Deco stoneware vase by the renowned René Beauclair (1877-1960), produced at ODETTA, Faïencerie de la Grande Maison HB Quimper, France, ca.1920. The vase features the distinctive Shape #512 and is decorated with the rare and sought-after Decor #1321bis, which is a particularly limited design, making this piece all the more unique. With its elegant, geometric form and meticulously executed decoration, this vase exemplifies the sophistication of the Art Deco movement. Measuring 8.3" (21 cm) in height and 8.1" (20.5 cm) in diameter, this vase is in excellent condition, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship of its maker. A remarkable and rare example of French Art Deco ceramic art, it would make an impressive addition to any collection. From 1903, Jules Verlingue, at the head of the Faïencerie de la Madeleine, in Boulogne-sur-Mer, produced stoneware. In December 1913, a fire destroyed part of the Faïencerie de la Madeleine. The factory being poorly insured, its owner was forced to sell to Boulogne banker Henri Delcourt. Jules Verlingue will remain director of his former establishment. The funds from the sale will be used by him, in association with Louis Delcourt, doctor of law and brother of Henri, to acquire, in 1914, the earthenware factory of his friend Guy de La Hubaudière, in Quimper. When the Faïencerie HB restarted in 1917, everything was refurbished and equipped. In 1923, under the impetus of Jeanne Malivel and René-Yves Creston, the “Ar Seiz Breur” (Seven Brothers) movement was born. This group of Breton creators aims to revive Celtic art. suffocated by classic taste, modernizing it and adapting it to everyday life. This period is extremely rich, encouraged of course by the antistical Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. The HB Jules Verlingue and Bolloré factory is not lagging behind, thanks to the collaboration of the sculptor René Quillivic...
