Art Deco Green Pot from Saint Clément, 1930s

Very simple, enamelled in a tender green and in an Art Deco spirit, this pretty pot pot is delighted to welcome pretty triangularis oxalys. It comes from the "Saint Clément" earthenware factory in Lunéville in Lorraine, whose production of the middle of the 20th century is as surprising in the audacity of forms as in the use of bright and contrasting colors.

Vintage ceramics are in very good condition. A small radiance and small labels of enamel are visible on the edge. It is signed in hollow under the base.

17cm in diameter, 14cm high.

In the wind of modernity that animates the 1950s and 60s, potters and ceramists are not outdone! They invent and reinvent the forms of terracotta objects, play on the composition of enamels to obtain new colors or textures. The Lorraine earthenware of Saint Clément is linked to that of Lunéville. In Lunéville is produced of fine, often usual and classic earthenware, services and patterns. Meanwhile, Saint Clément invents shapes and colors. In the second half of the 20th century, Jacques Roux and Blanche Lettale will explore the stylistic possibilities of earthenware. In a stripped and innovative style, the latter will offer vases with organic forms, with often monochrome or two -color enamels.
