ProfessionalProduct description
Sometimes, just a few colors are enough to transport you back to an era. With its deep browns, caramel hues, smoky earth tones, and almost mineral-like flows, this Sarreguemines Hawaï vase embodies the full decorative boldness of the 1970s. By then, Sarreguemines already had nearly two centuries of craftsmanship behind it. Yet, far from merely replicating the designs that had made its reputation, the factory embraced the aesthetic shifts of its time. Shapes changed, colors deepened, materials took on new significance, and research into glazes gave rise to much freer designs. The Hawaï vase is fully part of this adventure. With its generous, almost amphora-like shape, two large handles gracefully rise from the belly to the neck. The silhouette thus retains something of ancient vases while being immediately transformed by the aesthetic of the seventies. One's gaze is first drawn to the browns. They transition from caramel to almost black chocolate, meet shades of earth, ochre, and very dark green, then suddenly seem to tear open under large areas of light glaze. This is where Hawaï becomes particularly captivating. The glaze forms an irregular, almost frothy material, which, depending on the light, evokes foam dying on volcanic rock, cooled lava, or even mineral lace laid upon the earth. Each side possesses its own movements, its firing imperfections, its interactions between glazes. It is precisely these variations that give the piece its character. Beneath the base appear the manufacturer's mark, the Sarreguemines France escutcheon, the name HAWAÏ, and the inscription 'Peint main' (Hand-painted). We are not looking at an anonymous ceramic. 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 memorabilia to rediscover the full modernity of its material. A true piece of 1970s French decor, signed by one of our great manufacturers, at the crossroads of decorative object and mineral landscape.
