Vase
Lenoble, trained in the fine arts as well as commercial ceramics, was one of the most successful French Art Deco studio potters. His works possess the impeccable quality that was in demand among the great Parisian ensembliers—Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann in particular. Several of Lenoble’s pieces were displayed in the vestibule of Ruhlmann’s pavilion at the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes in 1925. The ceramic vessel that sat on top of Léon Jallot’s cabinet in the pavilion’s salon (MMA 25.212) may have been this example, which The Met purchased directly from Ruhlmann’s pavilion.
