This is a very beautiful ceramic pitcher. The shape of the jug and the handle remind us of the shapes of popular pottery works, while the very refined work of the enamel shows the great mastery of the ceramist Jean Girel. The glaze is a deep black illuminated by green glints. It is an object which is at the same time rough and elegant, it emanates strength and softness. Very sober, it can be integrated in any type of interior, particularly of wabi-sabi inspiration.
The signature "Jean Girel" is below the base.
Jean Girel is one of the most famous french ceramist art masters of the 21st Century. Inspired by the chinese Song ceramics, he has been nominated as "Maître d'Art" in 2000. Praised in Japan and in Taiwan, a special showroom has been dedicated to his work in the National Palace Museum of Taïwan. In 2007, he has been nominated Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture.
