A striking Art Deco enamel vase by Tharaud Limoges, France, circa 1930. This spherical porcelain form features a polished nickel collar and a richly glazed surface in cobalt blue, black, and ochre tones, accented with raised white enamel dots. The angular geometric motif reflects the daring modernism of the French Art Deco period, where precision and artistry combined to create timeless design.
The Tharaud brothers, Camille and André, established their Limoges atelier in the early 20th century and became renowned for their innovative use of enamel and porcelain. During the 1920s and 1930s, they produced distinctive decorative forms that captured the spirit of modern French design. The luminous glazes, hand-applied enamel relief, and elegant proportions of this piece exemplify the refined craftsmanship that defined their best work.
Signed “THARAUD LIMOGES FRANCE” beneath the glaze, this vase remains an exceptional example of the studio’s mastery of form, color, and texture—perfect for collectors of fine French Art Deco ceramics.
