Vase with plant motif

Emile Decoeur French
 Edmond Lachenal French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 556

blue In 1903, Lachenal’s assistant Edmond Decoeur left to start his own studio. His designs show a penchant for symmetrical plant forms. His vases have a reduced simplicity. Carefully incised lines create a pattern of leaves here, while the neck seems to sprout from the top like an inverted stem.
