Extra Large Longwy Art Deco French Cloisonné Geometric Gourd Vase, Circa 1930s
This extraordinary extra large French Art Deco ceramic vase by Longwy features a dramatic gourd shaped form decorated in brilliant shades of cobalt blue, turquoise, cream, green, and golden brown. Repeated floral and leaf motifs surround the lower body, creating a rich and dynamic pattern rarely encountered in Longwy pottery.
The elongated upper section is divided into bold geometric panels of crackled cream glaze outlined in deep blue. Pointed turquoise details lead into the floral decoration below, while the triangular motif at the base echoes the angular design found throughout the vase. Its impressive scale, sculptural form, and vivid colors make it an exceptional statement piece.
Longwy is renowned for the precision and beauty of its cloisonné enamel decoration, clearly visible in the clean detailing and carefully defined patterns of this vase. It remains in excellent original condition with no restoration and bears a large Longwy factory mark on the base.
