Floral Vase by Camille Fauré

Pastel blooms cover this Limoges enameled vase by Camille Fauré. The firm employs its signature raised enameling in this piece, which is achieved by applying silver leaf and an enamel paste to a copper base form and “building it” before firing. The copper base and silver leaf give the enamel a luminous quality, making this vase's brilliantly hued flowers all the more vibrant and eye-catching. Today, Fauré's highly unique enamel vases such as this can be found in museum collections around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (London) and the Corning Museum of Glass (New York).

This vase is pictured in Alberto Shayo's book Camille Fauré Limoges Art Deco Enamels: The Geometry of Joy, page 86.
