CALL FOR ART DECO BALL PROJECTS
AWARD CEREMONY

From 15 March to 15 June 2021, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of its iconic vase and for the first time in its history, the Manufacture des Emaux de Longwy 1798 launched a call for projects for the Art Deco ball and invited young designers to propose their vision of both the decoration and the shape of the vase.

The projects had to meet the following two criteria:
- To be a piece of earthenware biscuit
- Be able to withstand the constraints of a cloisonne enamel decoration

IMAGINING THE ART DECO BALL OF THE 21st CENTURY

The jury, chaired by India Mahdavi and made up of designers, creators and personalities, judged the projects on their originality, creativity, qualities and relevance with regard to technical and decorative issues, and on their ability to become reality.
Some fifty projects were received as a breath of modernity, freshness and boldness in keeping with the DNA of the Manufacture.

AWARDS CEREMONY

The prize-giving ceremony took place at the Manufactures EMBLEM showroom in Paris on 9 September in the presence of the young designers, members of the jury and numerous personalities.
Two prizes were awarded instead of the three initially planned (a 1st prize, a 2nd and a 3rd) to :

- 1st Prize: Arthur RISTOR for La Parure
- 2nd Prize: Elen GAVILLET for her Vase Cosse

Each of the winners will receive a prize of €3,000 for the first and €2,000 for the second, and their creations will be published in a limited edition and presented to the public. The new shapes will be included in the Manufacture's catalogue and may serve as a basis for future designs.

1st Prize

La Parure by Arthur RISTOR

"La Parure is the result of work based on the exploration of models that have shaped the history of the Manufacture. Numerous decorative elements have been revisited to make up the adornment of this new ball.
For its 90th anniversary, the Art Deco Ball retains its iconic silhouette while separating it from a new volume decoration.
The decoration is deliberately non-figurative, made of more or less divided colour applications that give the cloisonné technique a frank and contemporary character.
a frank and contemporary character.
The colour contrasts and the dynamics of the lines highlight the overall proportions of the object.
The Parure ball is a festive version of the Art Deco ball, dressed to celebrate its 90th anniversary.

2nd Prize

The Cosse vase by Elen GAVILLET

"I wanted to keep the spherical shape of the original Boule vase.
I rethought the lines by drawing a second skin to envelop the central circular shape in levitation.
This extra thickness makes it possible to play with two cloisonné enamel motifs that dialogue together on the same piece."

The first motif is inspired by the scales of fish and the aquatic fauna of the abyss. These shapes are repeated and give rhythm to the surface of the earthenware vase.
The second is inspired by aquatic flora, corals and dancing algae. This design embraces the first one.

Bicentenary of the death of Napoleon 1821-2021
Special limited edition T2 egg

The 5th of May 2021 will mark the bicentenary of the death of Emperor Napoleon I on St. Helena.

Napoleon I is part of the history of our factory.
In 1806, the young Emperor visited the fortress of Longwy and noticed the production of earthenware. He ordered a dinner service from the faience factory for the Houses of the Legion of Honour.

From this prestigious service, we still have a tureen skilfully molded, with two eagle-shaped holds, a frieze of laurels and bees.

The memory of the Emperor remains alive at the Faïencerie which regularly publishes pieces for the commemorations of the Napoleonic epic.
We therefore wished to present an exceptional piece to commemorate the anniversary of his death:
An egg of 12 cm, imperial green background, enhanced with gold, on which are represented several Napoleonic symbols: the cockade bicorn, bees and laurel friezes, the imperial eagle, the hand of justice.

Numbered and strictly limited to 200 copies.

For all orders placed before May 5, receive an exceptional discount of 10%, that is to say 495 € including VAT, free shipping.

Our decorative eggs are flat-bottomed and can be placed on any flat surface without the need for a special support.

EASTER 2021
Collector & Colours

Faithful to tradition, our Manufacture offers each year a collector Easter egg, Féerik in 2021, accompanied by a new colorful series signed Nicolas De Waël.

 

Collector 2021

Numbered and limited to 200 copies, Féerik is dressed in golden reflections on a deep blue background, an invitation to dream in fairy-like dreams.

Special Series

Pol, Giver, Yayo and Florès Colorées form an Easter quartet, numbered and limited edition of 500.
The Easter egg is the symbol of a new life, of rebirth and of the arrival of Spring. Nicolas De Waël, whose qualities as a colorist are recognized as a signature, signs here a special series with cheerful and joyful notes.

A little history...

In 1931, Maurice Paul Chevalier became the chief decorator of the Longwy faience factory. That same year he created the decoration for the colonial ball presented and awarded at the 1931 Paris Colonial Exhibition. This decoration announces the end of the art deco wave and the return to floral and Japanese inspiration.
