In this vibrant composition, Grasset elevates the humble gourd (courge) to an elegant decorative form. The botanical representation at the top reveals winding tendrils, lobed leaves, and robust fruits. Below, these elements evolve into rhythmic, almost baroque patterns, showcasing the potential of vegetable forms in ornamental design.
Traditionally linked to abundance and transformation, this plate expresses the Art Nouveau ideal of finding beauty in even the most utilitarian forms.
