Eugène Baudin – Vaas – Aardewerk – Art Nouveau Flambé Glaze

Rare matching pair of French Art Nouveau miniature vases attributed to Eugène Baudin, dating to circa 1900.These two small sculptural vessels are characteristic of the experimental French Art Nouveau ceramics associated with Eugène Baudin. Both vases are individually signed “Baudin” on the underside, and both retain their original decorative metal mounts.The ceramic bodies are finished in expressive flambé / flowing glazes, combining deep cobalt-blue, turquoise and rose-red tones. The highly reactive surface creates a subtle transition of colour and depth across the rounded forms, while the organic metalwork follows the natural contours of the vessels.The pair is particularly appealing because of its small scale, matching form, original mounts and signatures on both pieces. Comparable Baudin works are documented with flambé, oxblood, turquoise and violet glazes and with original metal mountings, including bronze and pewter-type mounts.The present pair is offered as a matching collector's set, suitable for an Art Nouveau, Jugendstil or French decorative-arts collection. They can be displayed together as originally intended or individually as small cabinet pieces.Attribution & PeriodArtist: Eugène BaudinOrigin: FrancePeriod: circa 1900Style: French Art NouveauMaterial: Glazed stoneware / art pottery with original metal mountsGlaze: Flambé / flowing glazeMarks: “Baudin” incised on the underside of both vasesMounts: Original... lees verder bij Catawiki
