In the 1920s and 1930s, during the prohibition of alcohol in the United States, the culture of cocktails and various aperitifs flourished. The most popular type of alcohol at that time was Cointreau orange flavored drink neat with ice. This French Art Deco pottery bottle was custom-designed by French DENERT & BALICHON (Vierzon) in 1920 for the Cointreau brand. Signed "Cointreau Frère et Fils Angers" below the base.

In 1909, in Vierzon, France (about 130 miles south of Paris), Mr. René Denert began making pottery from local gray clay. His beautiful Art Nouveau forms are painted with satisfyingly velvety drip glazes, producing pieces with delicate shapes draped in earthy colors.

In 1921, Mr. RL Balichon joined the company and created Denbac Céramique. Denbac's pottery was renowned throughout Europe and was often commissioned by alcohol manufacturers (such as Cointreau, which was popular in the twenties and thirties) to create special-purpose vessels for them. The product styles vary from simple to ornate, covering the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods.

The company closed briefly during both world wars, finally closing for good in 1952.

二十世纪二三十年代在美国禁酒令的同时，鸡尾酒与各式开胃酒文化蓬勃发展，当时最为流行的酒类品种便是纯饮加冰君度橙味酒。这一件法国装饰艺术主义陶瓶，由法国 DENERT & BALICHON (Vierzon) 在 1920 年为君度品牌定制设计。底座下方签名“Cointreau Frère et Fils Angers”。

1909 年，在法国维耶宗 (Vierzon) （巴黎以南约 130 英里），René Denert 先生开始用当地的灰色粘土制作陶器。他美丽的新艺术风格的造型上涂有令人满意的天鹅绒般的滴釉，制作出的作品有着精致的形状披着质朴的色彩。

1921 年，RL Balichon 先生加入公司，创建了 Denbac Céramique。Denbac 的陶器享誉整个欧洲，经常受酒类制造商（如在二三十年代流行的君度）委托为其制造特殊用途的容器。产品风格多变，从简约到华丽，涵盖了新艺术和装饰艺术时期。该公司在两次世界大战期间都曾一度关闭，最终于 1952 年永久关闭。
