This remarkable pair of ceramic vases signed Elgé is part of the tradition of French art ceramics from the first half of the 20th century, a period marked by great formal and chromatic freedom. The vases feature a generous and rhythmic shape, typical of late Art Deco and modernist aesthetics. Their surface is animated by a flamboyant polychrome glazing, blending deep reds, intense blues, and bright yellows, with subtle drips reflecting a skilled artisanal craft. Produced in a workshop, probably in Vierzon, these ceramics embody the creative spirit associated with the Elgé signature, attributed to the workshop of Louis Gueule, active between the 1920s and 1950s. Each piece retains a degree of uniqueness related to the firing and the reaction of the glazes. Presented as a pair and in perfect condition, these vases form a strong decorative ensemble, ideal for a contemporary, vintage, or eclectic interior. Signature: Elgé (impressed under the base). Origin: France, Vierzon (attributed). Period: circa 1930–1950. Height: 21.5 cm. Diameter: 15 cm. Condition: perfect condition, without chips or cracks.
