Description from the seller

Magnificent glazed ceramic carafe crafted by the sculptor Jean Marais (1913-1998), a French artist who worked as a sculptor and actor with considerable renown. This piece comes from Vallauris, where Jean Marais worked.

This item is distinguished by an original sculptural form with a contoured body, a slender neck, and a handle curled into a volute, typical of Jean Marais's artistic work.

The glaze displays pretty iridescent reflections in shades of greens, browns, and metallic tones.

Signed Jean Marais.
