Pierre-Henri BUESTEL - Vase (2) - Ceramic

Pierre-Henri Buestel (1956–2011) — Two glazed ceramic vases, signed and dated 1995

A fine pair of glazed ceramic vases by Pierre-Henri Buestel, each signed under the base with the incised monogram “PHB 95.”

These two pieces captivate with their rounded forms, tightened openings, and the harmony of their glazes. Presented together, they form a sober and warm duet, revealing two different expressions of the material.

The green vase displays olive green and blue-gray hues, enriched with ochre touches and fine brown speckling. The variations in the glaze give it beautiful depth and a mineral character.

The brown vase stands out with a glossy glaze, deep brown almost black, streaked with reddish tones. Light highlights its curves and reveals the fineness of the speckling.
