At the turn of the century he was selling his creations in Paris at the Au Vase Etrusque shop.[b] In the shop he produced and displayed vases, bowls, ashtrays, boxes and other items.
In 1919 he began to exhibit at the Foire de Lyon. Later on he would also attend the Foire de Paris. The two events gave his 20 employees enough work for the entire year.
In 1919 he joined Alexandre Marty (1876 - 1943) in creating new enamel production methods involving flamed / frosted enamels. Together they designed and exhibited pieces under the brand "Fauré et Marty", including a small number of pendants in enameled gold, silver and copper. Early in 1925 the two parted.[5]
The International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts of 1925 was Fauré's breakthrough. He became Limoges most famous enamel artist. Among the other active enamellers of Limoges during the 1920s were Pierre Bonnaud (1865–1930), Jules Sarlandie (1874–1936), and Henriette Marty (1902–1995).[d]
In 1925 Fauré opened his own business in Limoges where he hired five enamellists to whom he gave freedom of creation Marcelle Decouty-Védrenne and Jeanne They signed their pieces with the brand “C. Fauré Limoges”, sometimes with the addition "France" The workshop specialized in two areas: advertising signs and plaques for shops, at a time when department stores were booming; and house painting and decoration.
His creativity and boldness manifests in the 1920s when he started using large vessels, vases, bowls or open-mouthed jardinières, multiple layers of polychrome enamels in hard, vitreous, three-dimensional geometric designs of subtle complexity and color combinations.
His designs set him apart as the greatest creative enameller of the Art Deco style. This is, chevrons, lozenges, diagonal and stripe patterns and floral motifs, ranging from naturalistic to stylized patterns of leaves and flowers. The geometric patterns featured strong hues of blue, red, orange and yellow accented with blacks. The floral patterns had more delicate hues such as turquoise, light blue, pink, lavender and white. Some vases had panels and borders of floral motifs combined with geometric stepped and cubist motifs.
His vases are to be found in many musea all over the world.
