Details:
Camille Faure (French, 1874-1956)
Camille Faure was a French enamel artist best known for his design work for the Limoges porcelain company in Limoges. Floral and figurative patterns in richly glazed colors were his signature. In 1925, he opened his own business in Limoges where he hired five enamellists to whom he gave freedom of creation. Faure’s creativity and boldness manifested in the 1920s when he started using large vessels, vases, bowls, or open-mouthed jardinieres, multiple layers of polychrome enamels in hard, vitreous, three-dimensional geometric designs of subtle complexity, and color combinations. His designs set him apart as the greatest creative enameller of the Art Deco style.
