History of the object: Paul Luce, decorator and earthenware dealer in Paris, acquired a batch of undecorated Montereau earthenware. The latter was added between 1910 and 1925 by his son Jean Luce, who adorned it with a frieze of stylized palms in sober, elegant brown-sepia colors, emblematic of the Art Deco movement to which he actively contributed.

A few words about Jean Luce, decorator and designer
A designer of glass and ceramic dinner service models, Jean Luce trained with his father, Paul Luce, in the family store on rue de Châteaudun in Paris. His name first appeared when he was just 16, at the Musée Galliera exhibition in 1911. In 1913, he began exhibiting at art fairs and, in 1923, set up the family store on rue de La Boétie, before taking over its management in 1931.
