AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered: Exceptional ceramic vase with a continuous bird decoration – France, about 1960 – Jacques Blin (1920–1995).
An exceptional and completely pristine ceramic vase by the French ceramicist Jacques Blin, featuring a beautifully continuous around-the-body decor of stylized birds. Signed 'J. Blin' on the underside.
Description:
This fine ceramic vase is a characteristic example of the work of the French ceramicist Jacques Blin (1920–1995).
The vase has an organic, rounded form and is finished in a subtle blue-green glaze, with dark and earthy tones visible. Around the body, the vase is decorated with a playful scene of stylized birds, executed in the distinctive graphic line work.
The decoration is not limited to one side: it runs around the entire vase, so its appearance changes as the vase is turned, revealing different parts of the bird motif.
Also notable are the two small ears/handles mounted on the shoulder of the vase. In combination with the broad, rounded form, these give the vase a strong sculptural character.
The combination of the characteristic bird motifs, the organic form, and the blue-green glaze is highly recognizable within Blin’s oeuvre.
The underside bears the handwritten signature 'J. Blin' clearly visible.
Condition:
The vase is in excellent, completely original condition. There are no breaks, chips, restorations, or other damages. The surface texture, small color variations, and irregularities in the glaze are inherent to the handmade nature of the ceramic and contribute to the authentic appearance of the object.
Dimensions:
• Height: approx. 19 cm
• Diameter: approx. 23 cm
• Material: ceramic
• Provenance: France
• Artist: Jacques Blin
• Signature: J. Blin, underside
• Period: approx. 1960
A evocative and unique piece that can be used not only as a vase but also as a decorative ceramic art object. A beautiful opportunity for the collector or enthusiast seeking a characterful work by Jacques Blin.
