Henriot Quimper Odetta Faience Art Déco Vase énumération No. 6004 c.1925

Description

Henriot Quimp
er Faience Art Déco Vase énumération No. 6004.  Beauty bespeaks itself.  The height of art déco.
From 1922, until his retirement in 1932, Jules Verlingue took on Louis Bolloré as a partner. Some of the decorations...notably those from the
provinces françaises
series...were signed with a conjoined "VB" to note their  association.  While these pieces are not marked with the word "Quimper", the presence of the "morse-code" lets you know that they  definitely
are
Quimper.
...and here's the mark on a piece decorated with a scene from the alpine town of Grenoble...again, the "morse-code" markings indicate their Quimper origins.
When a factory decorator retired or left HB, his or her "morse-code" mark was re-assigned; so you may find pieces with the same painters' mark that look decidedly different. Thus, studying the execution of the decoration can be a more reliable indicator than  the mark.
The Odetta mark was designed to indicate a series of stoneware art pottery produced by the HB factory and was officially registered in 1922; sample pieces were made in 1923 and spectacular examples were exhibited at the 1925 Arts Décoratifs exhibition, but formal production did not begin until March of 1926.
This is a very high-end piece of that period.  Highly unusual.  The beauty is incomparable.  I hate to part with it, but onward it must go to the next person that can appreciate the beauty and classic art déco nature of this vase. Measurements:  10" H x 5" W.   Questions will be answered within 24 hrs. and combined shipping is possible. Kind regards
