Jacques Blin Light Gray to Light Lavender French Ceramic Vase, circa 1960

Creator: Jacques Blin
Offered by: Pavilion Antiques and 20thc

Description
Jacques Blin French ceramic vase with iconic sgrafitto decoration.

The size is impressive and the color of the glazes are rare in a Jacques Blin vase. This example is light gray tending to light lavender with the scrafitto showing black in the line work. The glaze is applied like a painter working on cavas.

The scrafiitto decoration that was his calling card is strong and graphic.
Jacques Blin (France, 1920-1995) was a aeronautical engineer by training, Jacques Blin created in parallel at home his first ceramic works. In 1954, he set up a workshop in Paris and exhibited at the Maison de la Chimie and at the Salon des Ceramistes et métiers d'art. His molded pieces with cloud enamel and decorations engraved with birds and animals were immediately very successful. His other works followed. He was president of the Chamber of Trade Union of Ceramists and Art Workshops for twenty years.

Blin has an immediately recognisable style characterised by a more or less misty appearance of the glaze and by decoration deeply marked in the raw clay, a method he used throughout his career.

He frequently depicted fanciful birds, animals, stylized figures and whimsical abstract motifs in his works which are always signed "J. Blin".

Message from Seller:

Pavilion is the collective vision of Deborah Colman and Neil Kraus, both graduates of the master of fine arts program at the Art Institute of Chicago. From a longstanding interest in art and design, frequent buying trips to France and Italy have influenced the direction of the gallery to offer items that are not easily sourced in Chicago and United States. Postwar design has been the focus for 18 yrs and we also look forward to new design that crosses boundaries and dialogues as well to the past
