"Impressive Quimper Hb Vase, Grande Maison Odetta, Art Deco Period"
An impressive large stoneware vase of ovoid shape with two small, detached geometric handles clasping the round neck, which is adorned with triangles. The central decoration, set against a white background, features designs of scrolls, interlocking circles and lozenges, and trapezoids. Round pellets and circles of midnight blue enamel punctuate the designs. Two large circles of midnight blue enamel encircle the central section. Above, two sets of triangles, arranged in a triangle against a matte gray background, highlight the neck. Towards the base, four circles of white enamel refine the vase's form against the same matte gray enamel background.
