Eugène Baudin: Superb Small Vase In Green And Purple Enamelled Stoneware, Mounted In Silver. 19th - 20th

Very pretty and interesting sandstone vase imitating the skin of the eggplant, mounted in silver, attributed to Eugène Baffin

The vase rests on a plain silver pedestal. The narrow foot flares out then narrows to the collar, also mounted in silver.
The vase has a superb glaze forming a gradient of purple and green from the foot to the neck imitating the color of two-tone eggplants.
The effect is truly magnificent and very delicate.

  Eugène Baudin is a ceramist born in Vierzon on August 29, 1853 and died in Granges-sur-Aube on April 11, 1918. He went into exile following the Commune then returned to France in 1881 where he opened a workshop in Vierzon. His works presented at universal exhibitions received a very good reception from the public, particularly those mounted in silver.

Although this vase is not signed, this green and purple glaze is characteristic of the artist's work.


The silver parts are hallmarked:
. Minerva 1st title before 1973 for 950/°° silver
. Goldsmith's mark to identify: AD with a bird looking to the left.


Charming little vase with a deliciously vintage glaze.

11.6 cm high
6.5 cm maximum diameter

186 grams

Very good state. Cast iron imperfections at the collar and very slight deformation of the foot.

I thank Mr M who allowed me to identify the artist.
