Art Deco Ceramic Bowl by Emaux de Longwy, France
This striking Art Deco ceramic bowl by Emaux de Longwy, France, embodies the bold elegance of the 1920s and 1930s decorative style. Crafted in the renowned cloisonné ceramic technique, the piece displays a vivid turquoise crackle glaze surrounded by geometric motifs in deep cobalt blue and enriched with stylized fuchsia flowers. The stepped form is accentuated with raised edges finished in luminous gold enamel, giving the design both architectural strength and refined sophistication. The use of rich, contrasting colors and the crisp angularity of its pattern make this a superb example of Longwy’s mastery in marrying fine craftsmanship with avant-garde design. In excellent condition, the bowl bears the Emaux de Longwy mark on the underside.
Collectors value Emaux de Longwy ceramics for their exceptional enameling and hand-painted precision, both of which are evident in this remarkable piece. The combination of vibrant colors and geometric floral patterns captures the essence of the Art Deco era, when luxury and modernity intertwined. This bowl serves equally well as a display centerpiece or as part of a curated collection of early 20th-century French ceramics, reflecting the enduring artistry and design innovation of one of France’s most respected workshops.
