Small Tharaud Limoges Porcelain Ball Vase Circa 1920-1940

A very beautiful small spherical vase, Limoges porcelain by Camille Tharaud, dating from around 1920-1940, probably the 1930s, in the Art Nouveau modernist style. Stamped under the base: Tharaud, France, Limoges, along with two incised inscriptions, a mold mark, and the decorator's mark. The porcelain has a nuanced white/beige glaze, decorated with stylized fern leaves in the shape of fiddleheads, rising from the base upwards, in shades of brown, hazelnut, pale brown, and peacock green/dark turquoise. It has a small, short, upturned neck with a peacock green/dark turquoise rim. It measures 14.5-15 cm in height and approximately 14.5-15 cm in diameter at its widest point. In very good overall condition, with no chips or cracks. It does, however, have a few very discreet scratches and minor abrasions. Weighs approximately 500-600 grams.
