Ferdinand Duvinage – Pair of single-flower vases with a ivory marquetry decoration

This beautiful pair of single-flower vases was made by Ferdinand Duvinage between 1874 and 1884. He files in 1874, 1876 and 1877 patents for a marquetry technique of mosaic with metallic partitioning for furniture and art objects. His method is really original because it involves the combined union of ivory as a base, wood for the designs or ornaments, and copper or other metal to partitioning the ivory fragments. The firm continues to participate to World Fairs where they win many medals, even though they are not that much mentioned by the critics, we know that the productions with the Japanese vocabulary created under the direction of Duvinage were also very appreciated and were a real commercial success. He creates here, a beautiful pair of vases in glass with a shaped thin and elegant shape, that evokes a flower’s corolla and adorned on the walls with a enameled reed decoration. The vases rest on a gilt bronze base remarkably and finely chiseled lightened up with a marquetry decoration of ivory taking from the process invented by the artist.

CARRIER-BELLEUSE Albert-Ernest — Enameled Porcelain Covered Vase from Sèvres

Refined covered vase in enameled porcelain, produced by the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres and mounted on a finely chiseled gilt bronze base. This model, known as "Saïgon", was developed under the artistic direction of Albert-Ernest CARRIER-BELLEUSE in the late 19th century, and reflects the influence of Asian aesthetics and cloisonné techniques that were highly fashionable at the time. The decoration features a profusion of stylized floral motifs, rendered in nuanced tones of blue, green, pink, and white, highlighted with gilded outlines. Butterflies and insects in raised polychrome enamel add a delicate sense of relief and intricacy to the ivory-toned surface. A gadrooned frieze in blue enamel and gold encircles the neck and base, enhancing the ornamental harmony of the piece. The underside bears several marks: a red stencil "DECORE A SEVRES" with monogram, green painted number "S.80", and various incised and painted inventory numbers. This piece exemplifies the technical virtuosity and decorative elegance of Sèvres' artistic production during the 1880s.
