Topic: Art Déco (??) painted and gilded vase ID help please

[rberthon]

Hi,
I bought this vase and try to figure out an ID.
It is 28cm high and 10cm in diameter. The shape is cylindrical outside but have 14 facets inside. The lower part is pink (not pink glass but a kind of enameled painting I suppose). The main decor has a whitish enameled painting with painted flowers and gilded geometric motif.
The geometric motif looks pretty Art Deco to me.
I bought the vase in France but I'm not sure it's French. I don't remember having seen this geometric decoration in French productions. I was thinking maybe it's from Belgium, Germany or Austria.
Do you have any idea ? Many thanks in advance

  More Jugendstil / Vienna Secession rather than Art Deco I think. German, Austrian Art Nouveau.

Thanks for the advice. I've tried to make a research in German but no similar item found yet. Just a detail but the quality of the painting is not great (I mean the painter was quite trembling). I don't know if it is true for Germany and Austria but in France it looks post WWI when the glass industry had difficulties to hire qualified workers, many of them probably died during the war.

 Not so much the glass itself, more the decoration, the graphic/design nature of it mirrors Jugendstil/Vienna Secession to me. The fact that the decoration is done somewhat haphazardly I think relates more to how quickly it was done. Not a high end piece. More often these design elements seen in the graphic arts and architecture. The photo of the gate provided a good example and a lot of the design elements I see in the decoration on your vase.

Very nice gate indeed ! I was also thinking about decorations in building such as theaters and restaurants that are also alike.
In the meantime I realised that the shape (cylindre "vase rouleau", 14 sided inside) is very common in Legras production and other vases attributed to him. And also, some Legras vases display a Jugendstil-like decoration. I will need to go to a library to check the Legras catalogue

Not sure how relevant these are but some examples from around the same time:
