Limoges vase help needed

[missgail]

Hi, could any  one help with more info about my vase? I received the following response, translated from the French, some time ago. However, it really doesn't help much. I have no idea re value etc. Thanks

Madam, I received your message. Your vase was indeed carried out at Bernardaud. It carries the mark used by the company of 1927 until the Eighties. Its name is "Hexagonal". Hexagonal vase or Hexagonal lamp: it was sometimes used in foot of lamp. When it acts of the vase, it had a lid (to be seen in enclosure so that you have an idea). I did not find the exact date of his creation but I know that it was manufactured already in 1943 (it is mentioned in a local newspaper that we preserve). On the other hand I do not know the decoration of your model. It could be carried out on our premises but the part in white could very well be bought by a decorator who would have then painted it.

Need following info
? is it hand painted or transfer, how big is it 


what specifically would you like to know other than estmate of price

[missgail]

Thanks. It is 30 cm, or 12 inches high, and hand painted. I would just like too get an idea of value, the stylistic inspiration, and the era if possible. The style appears to be Art Nouveau, but I really am not sure on that.

Its Art Deco - a popular international art design movement from 1925 until the 1940s, its angular & bold patterned. Nouveau is more flowing & botanical
First introduced at the 1925 Paris World’s Fair, or Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, from which the term Art Deco was later taken, objects in the Art Deco style combine exotic influences from cultures like ancient Egypt, Africa and Latin America with the modern interests in speed and streamlining. Originally called “Modernism,” this new, avant-garde sensibility was interpreted in many different ways
Value is not high any damage will severely reduce the price Auction UK £40 - £60

Very nice looking pebble motif vase , missgail .

Love the translation , too .

Reminds me of one translation (from japanese to english) in an owners manual , about removing a muffler from a Suzuki motorcycle .
It said : " Do not bang exhaust box at dogs " .

Thank you gingertomantiques, fancypants, and KC. So it's a pebble motif? I had thought peacock, although pebble seems closer. Although I had not expected the vase to be highly valuable, I am a little disappointed with its worth as I have never seen anything like it, despite extensive research that eventually lead to my query to the Bernardaud factory itself. Nevermind, it is still quite spectacular. Very iridescent in the flesh.
