Brown and Gold Enamelled Vase with Three Handles
Ceramic vase in an ovoid shape topped by a narrower neck set with three little handles. The whole piece is enamelled in brown tones enriched with a golden and amber spiral décor which emphasizes the soft curve of the piece.
Signed: “Jean Besnard France” in intaglio under the base.
Circa: 1925.
Dimensions:
Height: 7 ¼ in.
Diameter: 4 ½ in.
Remarks:
Besides his incised artworks, Jean Besnard also develops a decorative vocabulary centred on plain and full shapes brighten up with crackled golden powder. This aesthetic, laying on contrasts between dull and bright, perfectly fits the new Art Deco style.
