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...
