This covered pot, titled "Thaïs," is a remarkable collaboration between Camille Tharaud (1878-1956) and Henri Rapin (1873-1939), two major figures in French decorative arts. Produced around 1928 in Limoges, this glazed porcelain piece is distinguished by its polychrome geometric frieze decoration in shades of pink, green, blue, and gray, reflecting a distinct Art Deco aesthetic. The cylindrical grip of the lid, adorned with freeform shapes, completes the work's formal balance. Signed with "Th" and "HR" incised under the base, this piece also bears the label of the Société d’encouragement à l’Art et à l’Industrie, highlighting its official recognition, likely at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs in 1928.
With its imposing dimensions (H. 42 cm, diam. 27 cm), this "Thaïs" pot perfectly illustrates the dialogue between formal modernity and artisanal excellence, characteristics of Camille Tharaud's production at its peak. The work comes from a private collection in Cagnes-sur-Mer, assembled by a couple of passionate Tharaud collectors in the first half of the 20th century.
