French ceramic vase from the Pierrefonds manufactory, with an amphora body and two sharply modelled twin handles marking the transition from late Art Nouveau into early Art Deco form language. The glaze is the defining feature: a highly expressive cascade of blues, greys and soft amber tones, pooling and crystallizing in Pierrefonds' signature coulure technique, with matte, satin and glossy zones across the surface reflecting the manufactory's research into high-temperature glazes.

  • Dimensions: H 17 cm, Dia. 19 cm
  • Material: Glazed stoneware (high-fired)
  • Brand: Pierrefonds
  • Color: Blue-grey with amber and ochre transitions
  • Condition: Very good vintage condition, with glaze variations typical of Pierrefonds production
  • Era: ca. 1910s–1920s
  • Origin: France
  • Remarks: Embossed Pierrefonds mark with chalice emblem to the base

Ideal for collectors of early 20th-century French studio ceramics, alongside names such as Émile Lenoble, Denbac and the Grès d'Alsace workshops. The broad shoulder and folded handles make this a particularly expressive example of the manufactory's output: well suited as a standalone piece on a plinth, shelf, or console where the glaze's texture and color shifts can be seen up close.

Pierrefonds was founded in 1903 in Oise, France, by the Dufour family, and became known for experimental "volcanic," crystalline and running glazes achieved through high-temperature firing. The manufactory's work is held in museum collections dedicated to French decorative arts of the Belle Époque and early modernism, and remains among the most recognizable names in early 20th-century French studio ceramics.
