Pair Of Sèvres Porcelain Covered Vases With Emerald Glaze, Art Deco Period.

This majestic pair of covered vases perfectly illustrates the golden age and stylistic revival of French porcelain in the 1920s and 1930s. Heavily influenced by the research of the Sèvres manufactory during the 1925 International Exhibition of Decorative Arts, these pieces combine the technical virtuosity of high-fire glazes with a resolutely modernist architectural rigor. They stand as a fascinating testament to the decorative luxury of the era.

Standing 23.5 cm tall with a generous body of 16 cm in diameter, these vases command attention through a striking visual contrast. The ovoid body reveals a spectacular deep, vibrant emerald green "flammé" (streaked) glaze. This enamel displays subtle drips and dark nuances that catch the light beautifully. In stark contrast to this organic flowing matter, the stepped bases and flat lids display a strict geometry: they are rhythmically adorned with elegant bands alternating dark red, black, and fine gold or brass-toned lines. This perfect opposition between the fluid curve and the straight line is the hallmark of pure Art Deco design genius.

Offered in excellent vintage condition, with the high gloss of the glaze perfectly preserved, this symmetrical pair is a true collector's item. These vases will enhance a mantelpiece, a modernist sideboard, or a console, bringing an intense touch of color and absolute elegance to a refined interior.
