Mid-Century French Ceramic Decorative Bowl by Jacques Blin (circa 1950s)
SKU 2208
Mid-century blue ceramic decorative bowl by Jacques Blin (circa 1950s). Created in Blin's trademark misty glaze, this elegant bowl is incised on the interior with a stylised giraffe - art of the type one might find in an ancient cave. Its surprising amphitheatre-shape would lend style and interest to the decor in any room in a home or workplace. The piece is in good overall condition. It is signed on the underside of the ceramic along with the number 177. An ideal acquisition for Jacques Blin collectors and for those who love mid-century French ceramics. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video will be provided.
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 and by decoration deeply marked in the raw clay, a method he used throughout his career. He frequently depicted fanciful birds, primitive animals, stylised figures and whimsical abstract motifs in his works which are almost always signed "J. Blin". A comprehensive book of the works of Jacques Blin has been released in both French and English: 'Jacques Blin, Ceramiste & Porteur d'Histoires' by Christine Lavenu.
