ProfessionalProduct description
Sometimes, just a few colors are enough to evoke an era. With its deep browns, caramel hues, smoky earth tones, and almost mineral flows, this Sarreguemines Hawaï vase embodies all the decorative daring of the 1970s. At that time, Sarreguemines already boasted nearly two centuries of expertise. Yet, far from merely reproducing the designs that had made its reputation, the factory embraced the aesthetic shifts of its time. Forms changed, colors became deeper, material took on a new significance, and research into glazes gave birth to much freer designs. The Hawaï series is an integral part of this venture. On a generous, almost amphora-like form, two large handles rise elegantly from the body to the neck. The silhouette thus retains something of ancient vases while being immediately transformed by the aesthetics of the seventies. The eye is first captivated by the browns. They transition from caramel to almost black chocolate, meet shades of earth, ochre, and very dark green, then suddenly seem to tear away beneath large areas of light glaze. It is here that Hawaï becomes particularly captivating. The glaze forms an irregular, almost frothy texture, which, depending on the light, evokes foam dying on a volcanic rock, cooled lava, or even mineral lace deposited on the earth. Each side possesses its own movements, its firing imperfections, its encounters between glazes. It is precisely these variations that give the piece its character. Beneath the base appear the manufacturer's mark, the Sarreguemines France crest, the name HAWAÏ, and the inscription "Peint main" (Hand-painted). We are not looking at an anonymous ceramic piece. We know where it comes from, we know its design, we know its era. With its 20 cm height and ample two-handled silhouette, it possesses a remarkable presence. Placed on a wooden console, paired with travertine, linen, or contemporary furniture, this vase immediately leaves the realm of mere souvenir to rediscover the full modernity of its material. A genuine piece of 1970s French decor, signed by one of our great manufacturers, at the crossroads of decorative object and mineral landscape.
