ODETTA QUIMPER Art Deco Stoneware Vase, 1920
By René Beauclair
Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR
A stunning French Art Deco stoneware vase by the renowned René Beauclair (1877-1960), produced at ODETTA, Faïencerie de la Grande Maison HB Quimper, France, ca.1920. The vase features the distinctive Shape #512 and is decorated with the rare and sought-after Decor #1321bis, which is a particularly limited design, making this piece all the more unique. With its elegant, geometric form and meticulously executed decoration, this vase exemplifies the sophistication of the Art Deco movement.
Measuring 8.3" (21 cm) in height and 8.1" (20.5 cm) in diameter, this vase is in excellent condition, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship of its maker. A remarkable and rare example of French Art Deco ceramic art, it would make an impressive addition to any collection.
From 1903, Jules Verlingue, at the head of the Faïencerie de la Madeleine, in Boulogne-sur-Mer, produced stoneware.
In December 1913, a fire destroyed part of the Faïencerie de la Madeleine. The factory being poorly insured, its owner was forced to sell to Boulogne banker Henri Delcourt. Jules Verlingue will remain director of his former establishment. The funds from the sale will be used by him, in association with Louis Delcourt, doctor of law and brother of Henri, to acquire, in 1914, the earthenware factory of his friend Guy de La Hubaudière, in Quimper.
When the Faïencerie HB restarted in 1917, everything was refurbished and equipped.
In 1923, under the impetus of Jeanne Malivel and René-Yves Creston, the “Ar Seiz Breur” (Seven Brothers) movement was born. This group of Breton creators aims to revive Celtic art. suffocated by classic taste, modernizing it and adapting it to everyday life. This period is extremely rich, encouraged of course by the antistical Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements.
The HB Jules Verlingue and Bolloré factory is not lagging behind, thanks to the collaboration of the sculptor René Quillivic...

ABOUT
“The aim of my work is the study of nature, the love of nature's art and the need to express what one feels in one's heart.” – Emile Gallé
A rare and exquisite cabinet-sized soliflore by Émile Gallé, exemplifying the highest artistic standards of early French Art Nouveau. The vase displays an exceptional and sculpturally sophisticated form—its body conceived as a sphere discreetly contained within a smaller cube—resulting in sensuously rounded, perfectly balanced contours that are both visually arresting and elegantly understated.
The clear glass body is decorated with finely rendered, hand-applied enamels depicting a dragonfly in flight among mountain grasses and thistles—a lyrical theme central to Gallé’s celebration of the natural world. The composition is executed with subtle tonal gradations and refined brushwork, capturing both the delicate movement and the ephemeral beauty of the scene.
A museum-quality example, notable for its rare form, poetic decoration, and intimate scale. A superb addition to any serious Art Nouveau or Gallé collection.
ABOUT ARTIST
Émile Gallé Gallé (French, 1846 – 1904)
Emile Galle was a French glass and ceramic designer who combined art and botany. Most of his glass vases are created in Art Nouveau style. Born on May 4, 1846 in Nancy, France, Émile Gallé seemed destined for a career in glassmaking. Nancy was well-established for its glass artistry, and his father, Charles Gallé was an established faïence (ceramic) and glassmaker with his own successful manufactory, the Maison Gallé-Reinemer. It would be here under the guidance of his father that the young Emile began to learn the art of glassmaking while simultaneously indulging his academic interests in philosophy, botany and chemistry. In 1867, Gallé joined his father working full-time at the Maison.
Gallé's glasswork, even at its earliest stages, was heavily influenced by nature, with his very first pieces incorporating enameled floral motifs painted upon clear glass. He was an avid botanist his entire life, collecting plants, flowers, and insects from which to study and draw inspiration. He was even elected Secretary-General for Nancy's Société centrale d'horticulture.
Gallé traveled throughout Europe studying works at museums and private institutions, gaining insight from ancient glass antiquities to Japonesque masterpieces, and everything in between. It would be Gallé’s trip to the British Museum in 1871 that would alter the course of his art career. Enamored by the famed ancient Roman cameo glass...
