Roger Guérin - Vase - Stoneware - Roger Guérin vase

A magnificent original stoneware vase by Roger Guérin (1896–1954), crafted in Bouffioulx, Belgium. This is a highly decorative piece featuring the characteristic, richly variegated glaze for which Guérin is internationally renowned. The vase has an elegant, bulbous body with a slender neck and a wide, flared rim. Its distinctive flammé (flame-effect) glaze displays a beautiful palette of olive green, blue-green, ochre, golden brown, grey, and dark brown tones. The fluid, sweeping glaze effects give the surface a lively, almost painterly appearance. The interior of the neck is finished in a deep, dark, almost black glaze. Specifications: Artist: Roger Guérin Origin: Bouffioulx, Belgium Model: 105 C Signed: "Guérin," incised on the base Period: Likely c. 1930–1938 Height: 24.5 cm Diameter: 16.5 cm Weight: 1.248 kg Material: High-fired stoneware Glaze: Multicolored, flammé (flame-effect) Condition: The vase is in excellent original condition. The glaze and form have been remarkably well preserved. There is one small, superficial chip on the base; it is barely noticeable and does not affect the object's stability or visual appeal. Otherwise, there are no cracks or restorations. A characterful and authentic piece of Belgian ceramics from the heyday of Roger Guérin and the Bouffioulx ceramic tradition. The combination of the elegant form, the spectacular glaze, and the original signature makes this an attractive piece for both the collector and the enthusiast of Belgian Art Deco ceramics.
