How could anyone not fall in love with this work of art?
This is a beautiful and rare French ceramic handled vase by Jean de Lespinasse (JdL) from Nice, France from the late 1950s or early 1960s. It is decorated with a beautiful stylised image of a lady and a cat surrounded by leaves, very reminiscent in style of the 50’s/60’s era. Lespinasse produced a series with various images of women in the same genre as this vase in the same period.
In a high glossy glazed red which has sweeps of a darker shade throughout so that the red is not a uniform colour. The interior is black, also glazed. The little black mark on the front of the vase in photo 7 is beneath the glaze.
Jean de Lespinasse was a French ceramist who worked from a studio in Nice on the French Riviera. His work was sold in Paris, Vallauris and abroad. His work has become very collectible.
Would make a Fantastic addition to any collection of French Studio Art pottery, European/Vallauris ceramics, and would complement any retro, vintage, mid century, 50’s, 60’s, pop art, minimal or contemporary styled interior.
In great condition, nothing to detract from the overall stunning look.
