AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare double-handled pitcher in glazed ceramic, with a continuous design of stylized clematis in shades of mauve, pink, ochre, and brown, on a greige background.
Late Art Deco period, circa 1939–1945.
Signed S.LARRIEUX on the lower part of the body.
Simone LARRIEU (1912–1996) was a distinguished French ceramic artist (hence the preliminary watercolor for a vase), as well as a recognized watercolorist.
Her works are particularly rare on the market and highly sought-after, owing to low production and excellent craftsmanship.
Her already strong market value continues to rise in France and as far afield as Asia.
Simone was the daughter of Octave LARRIEU, himself a ceramic artist, with whom she worked in a small studio they set up in 1930 in Maubourguet, in the Hautes-Pyrénées.
Her father focused more on form, while Simone focused on decoration, as she was also a talented watercolorist.
Many pieces signed by Octave therefore feature decoration created by Simone.
In 1939, she opened her own studio in Gironde, while still maintaining a connection with the family studio.
She devoted herself more to painting at the end of the Second World War.
Specialists describe Simone's ceramic works as exceptional.
Excellent overall condition: no cracks, no hairline cracks, no restoration.
There is only a tiny chip at the tip of the spout (see photos).
Approximate dimensions (in centimeters):
Height 21 cm
Width 18 cm (including handle)
Base diameter 9 cm
Body width (at widest point) 13 cm
Weight approximately 900 grams
