P.M. Sèvres — France, circa 1920s
This elegant Art Deco ceramic ensemble consists of a vase and matching fruit stand produced in France during the 1920s by Paul Milet, whose works were signed “P.M. Sèvres”.
Paul Milet was the son of ceramicist Félix Optat Milet, who had been associated with the renowned Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres. After training within the Sèvres tradition, the father and son established their own ceramic studio, where Paul Milet continued to refine a distinctive language of richly colored glazes and sculptural forms.
The vase and fruit stand are finished in a dramatic oxblood glaze contrasted with textured white “coral” glaze, a combination that reflects the decorative sophistication of the Art Deco period. The bold chromatic contrast and sculptural silhouettes give the pieces a strong visual presence while maintaining the elegance typical of French decorative arts of the early twentieth century.
Both elements are signed at the base “P.M. Sèvres.”
Both pieces are exceptionally well preserved and remain in very good vintage condition with minimal signs of age.
The ensemble works beautifully as a decorative centerpiece on a dining table, console, or sideboard. The vase and fruit stand may be displayed together as a set or arranged separately to complement different areas of an interior.
This piece is part of the KalaRara Roma Vintage Collection, a curated selection of rare twentieth-century design and historic objects chosen for their architectural presence and enduring design value.
Other notable designers represented in the collection include Gio Ponti, Paolo Buffa, Osvaldo Borsani, and Vittorio Introini, whose works continue to shape the history of twentieth-century Italian design.
