About the Artist: Jacques Blin (1920-1995), was an engineer by trade but with a love for the visual arts. Blin has an immediately recognisable style characterised by a more or less misty appearance of the glaze; he frequently used fanciful birds and animals, stylised figures and whimsical abstract motifs in his works with decoration deeply marked in the raw clay, a method he used throughout his career. A book about the ceramicist's art has been released as: 'Jacques Blin, Céramiste & Porteur d'Histoires', by Christine Lavenu, 2019.
