SUPERB V. RARE & LARGE PIERREFONDS CRYSTALLINE GLAZED VASE by OLIVIER de SORRA
SUPERB VERY RARE & LARGE PIERREFONDS CRYSTALLINE GLAZED VASE. By OLIVIER de SORRA. THIS IS A WONDERFUL QUITE RARE, AND LARGE PIECE OF CRYSTALLINE GLAZED FRENCH FAIENCE MADE AT OLIVIER de SORRA’S (COUNT HALLEZ d’ARROS) PIERREFONDS STUDIO WHICH DATES, I WOULD GUESS, TO THE FIRST DECADE OF THE 20th. IN A LARGE TWIN (BUTTRESS TYPE) HANDLED BOTTLE VASE FORM IT IS DEPICTED IN A CURIOUS ARTS AND CRAFTS MANNER WITH A LOVELY GREEN SPECKLED CRYSTALLINE GLAZE OVER AN OCHRE GROUND. IT IS IMPRESSED TO THE BASE WITH THE PIERREFONDS’FH’ (The Societe Faienciere Heraldique de Pierrefonds) HELMET MARK AND A MODEL NUMBER? TO ME THIS POTTERY STUDIO IS VERY REMINISCENT OF THE WORK OF POTTERIES IN THIS COUNTRY LIKE ELTON OR CASTLE HEDINGHAM – THEY SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME UNDERLYING ETHOS. IT MEASURES 16 1/4″ (41cm) H x 8 1/2″ (21.5cm) ACROSS THE BELLY APPROX; AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE AND TYPE WITH NO CHIPS, CRACKS, OR HAIRLINES TO REPORT – SEE PHOTOGRAPHS AND DETAILS. THIS IS A LOVELY, RARE PIECE OF LARGE, EARLY PIERREFONT CRYSTALLINE FAIENCE IN GREAT CONDITION THAT WITH ITS STUNNING CRYSTALLINE GLAZE DISPLAYS BEAUTIFULLY AND AS SUCH TOGETHER WITH A RELATIVELY LOW (IT WOULD BE INSTRUCTIVE TO SEE WHAT OTHER SIMILAR PIECES FETCH) START PRICE SHOULD GET CONSIDERABLE INTEREST FROM ALL COLLECTORS.
