Product description
Art Deco vase in high-fired salt-glazed stoneware, with blended bluish tones.
Labrec art stoneware, Maud model, circa 1910-30. Labrec is a contraction of the two creators' names.
The Labrut and Recullé workshops were located in Orléans from 1910. Production ceased in 1939.
Charles Labrut came from a family of ceramists (in 1901 he even received a medal of honor for his salt-glazed stoneware), and his daughter married the son of the industrialist Louis Recullé, who expanded the business.
The company produced its art pieces to order and sold them in Paris.
High-fired salt-glazed stoneware is created by spraying salt onto the glazes during the stoneware firing process. This technique was used during the Art Deco period, notably by Guérin.
Very complex to master, to prevent the pieces from breaking during firing and to ensure a pleasingly controlled execution of the decoration.
The piece features a "two-material" enamel effect, with a matte brown enamel base and glossy, melted enamels.
The piece is shaped like a stylized onion, typical of the Art Deco period.
Good overall condition, a small chip on the base (see photos).
Signed on the base in the piece "Atelier d'art Labrec" as well as "Maud".
Dimensions: Height 22 cm x Diameter 14 cm.
