Fernand Rumèbe
Fernand Rumèbe was an architect who learned the art of ceramics from Émile Decoeur in the first years of the 20th century. In around 1906 he took over Decouer's house in Auteil as his studio. There he made stoneware and porcelain painted with flowers. After a visit to Turkey, his decorations were influenced by oriental carpet designs. He later returned to the prevailing European treatment of a variety of plant forms and geometric designs, sometimes achieving with raised effects with thickly painted slip. His work of the 1920s included pieces whose decoration resembles Chinese cased and carved glass.
