Glazed ceramic, stylised owl vase (circa 1960s) by noted French ceramicist, Jacques Pouchain (1925-2005). This is a delightful ceramic vase in Pouchain's inimitable style. The rounded base is decorated with circular, ascending lines and a drip glaze which emanates from the upper body. The face consists of an adorable beak with round, sorrowful, owl eyes. In very good overall condition. Monogramed: 'JP' and marked: 'L'Atelier Dieulefit'.  

About the Artist: Jacques Pouchain (1925 - 2005) left Paris and gave up his architectural training in the 1950s for the South of France to devote himself to art and his pottery studio at Dieulefit. He produced highly personal work and more commercial pieces as well both revealing a modern approach to pottery. Pouchain's works are collected internationally and have been auctioned by several of the major houses.
