This rare French Art Deco vase, by Claudius Linossier was created using the complex technique known as dinanderie, which involved decorating hand-raised copper vessels to produce subtle but beautiful gradations of color. This spherical vase with an open neck on a small annular heel in entirely hammered copper brassware with an upper collared border of mottled brown patina on a rust ground. The collared decoration is further accented with a serpentine frieze on a burnt umber ground.
