Description
Nimy 1933 Art Deco Vase with Polychrome Glaze
A striking 1933 Art Deco vase by Nimy, Belgium, featuring a bold polychrome design in rich turquoise, crimson, lavender, and golden yellow glazes over a deep brown ground. The hand-applied raised outlines create a dynamic interplay of geometric and floral motifs, emblematic of the period’s fusion of stylization and craftsmanship. Marked on the base “Nimy 7933 D.500” and signed “J. Doreau,” this piece captures the vibrant ceramic artistry of interwar Belgium. Its crackle-glazed surface adds depth and character, enhancing the vase’s sculptural form and color palette. Perfect as a display centerpiece or for enhancing a curated Art Deco interior.

Belgian ceramic houses such as Nimy, Boch Frères, and Primavera produced some of the most refined Art Deco ceramics of the 1920s and 1930s, often merging bold coloration with intricate raised designs. The works of J. Doreau for Nimy are especially prized for their combination of architectural symmetry and painterly detail. This vase reflects the same decorative excellence seen in French Longwy enamel work, yet retains a distinctly Belgian character, making it a sought-after addition for collectors of European Art Deco ceramics.
