“Ce vase est un des fruits de la collaboration entre Hector Guimard et la Manufacture nationale de Sèvres. Après le vase-jardinière “des Binelles” et le vase “de Chalmont”, la célèbre institution édite entre 1903 et 1907 une douzaine d’exemplaires de ce modèle. Nous savons, grâce à une photo d’époque tirée du premier numéro de La Revue d’Art, que son existence est avérée dès 1899 puisque Guimard le présente dans une petite vitrine, entouré des derniers objets et meubles de sa production, même s’il ne s’agit probablement que d’un prototype préfigurant la version définitive de Sèvres.
Le vase “de Cerny ”, par les mouvements agités de la céramique que l’on retrouve à son sommet, est typique du style débridé adopté par l’architecte-décorateur au début de sa carrière tandis que la partie inférieure nous rappelle la fonctionnalité première de l’objet. Sur la douzaine d’exemplaires sortis des ateliers de la Manufacture nationale, un certain nombre est parvenu jusqu’à nous. Une bonne moitié est visible actuellement dans les collections de musées européens et américains, les autres se trouvent principalement dans des collections privées, là encore des deux côtés de l’Atlantique.
Appartenant à cette dernière catégorie, le vase de la collection Zehil est remarquable par la complexité des motifs et la variété des couleurs.
Les cristallisations du grès, obtenues par la projection aléatoire de particules métalliques durant la cuisson, rendent cet exemplaire particulièrement rare”. Le Cercle Guimard, 11 July 2013
