Ceramic Vase by Jacques Blin (c. 1950s)
Ceramic vase (c. 1950s) by Jacques Blin (1920 - 1995), an engineer by trade but with a love for the visual arts and an immediately recognisable style. A way of working 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 used fanciful birds, primitive animals, stylised figures and whimsical abstract motifs in his works which are always signed "J. Blin". This elegantly-shaped vase has a cloudy glaze featuring imaginative birds, trees and other plant life. Geometric shapes etched throughout frame the object. The vase is in excellent vintage condition and highly collectible.
