This vase, attributed to Davesne, is distinguished by its ovoid shape and rich palette of green, blue, and gold colors. The rounded body is topped with a relatively short, slightly flared neck, which highlights the generous silhouette of the vase. On the surface, large relief motifs—evoking both scrolls and stylized floral forms—create an interplay of volumes and textures typical of Art Deco creations.
The glass has a cloudy or marbled effect, the nuances of which are particularly vivid under the light, giving the vase an almost iridescent appearance. The interior, visible in the second photograph, reveals a swirl of blue and gold hues, adding a dreamlike dimension to the piece. The subtle transitions between the colors highlight the technical expertise and attention to detail characteristic of Davesne's work.
With its elegance and vivid colors, this vase perfectly illustrates the creativity of early 20th-century French glassmakers, for whom experimentation with color and form was one of the hallmarks of the Art Deco style. It is a powerful decorative piece, both for its sculptural presence and the finesse of its finishes, which demonstrate the refinement inherent in the productions of this era.
