Description:
An uncommon Sevres French Art Nouveau pottery vase, with silver mounts by Victor Saglier. Retailed by Siegfried Bing, c. 1900. The high fired art pottery body with semi crystalline glaze. Height 18.8 cm. Note: A similar vase held in the V&A collection, London with note: Victor Saglier and his successors Saglier Freres (Eugene and Andre Saglier) were metalworkers in Paris who commissioned vases from ceramicists such as Alexandre Bigot and from artists working at the Sevres factory. The Sevres chemists' achievements in developing new porcelain and colours in the 1880s were closely followed by the development of crystalline glazes. The first successful experiments were made by Royal Copenhagen but Sevres, which had made the initial discovery, quickly caught up and exhibited crystal glazes at Paris in 1900.
