This refined small bowl or coupe is a fine example of Limoges enamel artistry by the renowned studio of Duban et Christel. The piece is defined by its striking iridescent interior and meticulously detailed scrolled border, representing the sophisticated craftsmanship of mid-century French enamel work.
Crafted using traditional enamelling techniques where powdered glass is fused to a metal base, the bowl features a textured, luminous yellow and gold basin. This central pool is elegantly framed by a raised white edge adorned with intricate gold scroll motifs. The underside is finished in a deep brown enamel and bears the distinctive gold signature "Les Emaux d'Art Duban et Christel - Limoges -", confirming its authentic provenance and origin in France.
The bowl remains in highly commendable condition, preserving its original luster and the structural integrity of the delicate enamel surface. The rich patina, vibrant coloration, and precise gilding have been exceptionally well maintained over the decades, reflecting careful preservation by previous owners.
This refined object serves as an elegant focal point on a console table, vanity, or curated display shelf. Its classic proportions and radiant finish complement both traditional and contemporary interiors, offering a sophisticated touch of French decorative history to any curated collection.
