This is a large butterscotch, brown, olive green and and gunmetal crystalline glaze gray Art Deco pottery vase with a metal mount from a collaboration created by French ceramicist Louis Auguste Dage and metal craftsman/retailer Eugène Val during the 1920s to 1930s. It features Dage's signature thick, enameled polychrome drip glazes and Val's high-quality, hand-wrought iron rings around the neck and iron leaves placed vertically on the body.  In 1920, Louis Dage established the Faïencerie d'Art in Antony near Paris. Eugène Val joined the enterprise as a primary business partner shortly thereafter. Together, they launched the prestigious D'Argyl workshop.  The Antony workshop and their formal corporate partnership officially dissolved around 1935, after which Dage moved to southern France to manage a different factory. Today, their combined works are highly collectible items sought after in global art auctions and antique marketplaces.  There are no chips or cracks.  Crazing was intentional to give visual depth and texture to the art piece.  Some adhesive can be seen on the edges of the leaf metalwork.  Please see all pictures for more details and measurements.
