Condition
Unique painted and glazed ceramic; the ceramic is sound. There is a hairline firing crack to the foot of the base. There is some minor scuffing to the underside and to the rim of the opening. There is a light buildup of dust in the deepest crevices and a few spots of accretion on the surface of the glaze in places. The colours are bright and fresh and the surface texture is well-preserved. This work is in overall very good condition.

'[My ceramics are] the result of my life in the south of France, where one feels so strongly the significance of this craft. The very earth on which I walk is so luminous. It looks at me tenderly, as if it were calling me [...] I have wanted to use this earth like the old artisans, and to avoid accidental decoration by staying within the limits of ceramics, breathing into it the echo of an art which is near, and at the same time distant.'
