Ceramic Pitcher with Volutes

The dominant colour is blue. It is a very beautiful glaze with a silky appearance and a delicate touch. The colour is enhanced by diffuse black stripes and a greenish yellow. It is decorated with two inverted black volutes and abstract yellow motifs.

The form of this ceramic, its colours and patterns are characteristic of the work of Jean de Lespinasse. It is signed under the base.

Jean de Lespinasse has been producing ceramics since the late 1940s. Established in the South East, he is one of the most renowned French ceramists. He was notably influenced by the ceramics of Madoura Capron, Picasso, Picault etc.
