BACKGROUND NOTE (FROM GOOGLE)
Verceram (Verceram Céramique) was a prominent French art pottery manufacturer located in Montreuil, operating from the 1930s/40s until its closure in 1971. Known for its high-quality mid-century modern aesthetic, the company achieved recognition for avant-garde designs and iridescent glazes, particularly in the 1950s and 60s.
History and Style Evolution
• Early Era: Founded by Monsieur Caux, early productions featured late Art Deco influences with red or green enameling.
• Post-War Design: During the 1950s and 60s, Verceram shifted to vibrant colors, organic shapes, and a signature, sleek, iridescent style (often featuring pearlescent white or metallic blue-black glazes).
• Legacy: Following its closure in 1971, the molds were acquired by Fourmantreaux & Dèsvres.
Key Characteristics and Collectibility
• Markings: Items are typically identified by a "V-in-a-circle" stamp.
• Production: The firm produced lamps, vases, and decorative items, some of which were featured on the luxury liner France.
• Collector Demand: Due to the difficulty in mastering their specialized glazes, which are prone to scratching, well-preserved pieces are highly valued. The company's innovative designs were even noted by figures such as Le Corbusier.
Despite its lasting impact, few company archives remain.
