Art Nouveau Tray from Set

This is a fun tray made by Sevres in 1925. Made during the Art Deco period but still influences by the Art Nouveau period this is a very rare design and quite stunning. The desiger of the shapes was Louis Georges Claude (project 18-23) and the decoration was designed by Auguste H. Thomas (worked at Sevres between 1920 and 1925) in 1923 using the Petit Feu technique of low temperature firing. A stunning end result! I could only find one other example that did not include the tray but did include six cups and sold for over 70K. Presumably in better shape as well. I wish I had the cups :) The tray has a nice sleek shape to it with a raised wavy rim with a gold trim to the edge and raised blue enamel ovals along the rim. The piece is in great condition with a tiny bit of wear to the gilding and one of the raised enamel " jewels " has come off as has a part of one next to it. Not sure if this happened due to a firing issue or it got knocked. It was colored in to hide it very well. The piece is marked with Made in France as well as the red Decore a Sevres mark with the year 1925 under it as shown. The dish is about 1 inch tall and about 13.25 inches in diameter. I also have the creamer, sugar dish and teapot if anyone wants to own the entire set. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $1249
