This vase by Fernand Elchinger fits perfectly into the formal research of midcentury designers. Its form, freed from any constraints or references, blossoms into volutes, like soft drapes. Its original treatment, colored in tricolor vertical bands with a matte appearance, is a perfect success.
Free-form, all-volute, the vase has an exterior cover in three tones: brown, black and white. This is a rare model in this finish by Fernand Elchinger. The vase is signed with a stylus at its base. The Elchinger vase is in beautiful condition. Some traces of friction are visible on the enamel
“Céramiques Elchinger” is a family business established in Soufflenheim in Alsace in 1834. Since that time, generations have succeeded one another and offered a production that is as varied as it is avant-garde. Léon Elchinger (1871-1942) left his mark with his production of artistic stoneware as well as magnificent Art Nouveau and then Art Deco pottery, with magnificent colors and luster. Less known than Chambost, Ruelland, Jouve and Capron, Fernand Elchinger (1911-1975) will be one of the great mid-century ceramists. We are fans of his free-form productions, “handkerchief” vases and especially the play of contrast between deep blacks and bright yellows, reds or greens!
