Vintage French Ceramic Jug with Lid by Gérard Hofmann (circa 1960s)
About the Item
Vintage French ceramic jug by Gérard Hofmann (circa 1960s). A three-legged, elongated pear with stem on the lid makes for a piece so unique it is unlike any other. The surface is in one of his trademark finishes, a chalky white enamel with elements brushed in brown that are raised and tactile. It is both unique and visually stunning. It is in good overall condition. There is an ill-defined mark on the underside but it is unclear whether that is the maker's mark. In most cases, Hofmann's mark consists of a stylised 'Hof'. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video will be provided.
About the Artist: Gérard Hofmann (1917–1965), French painter and ceramicist. Born in 1917, Gérard Hofmann began a career as a painter before turning to ceramics. In the Riviera town famed for the presence of the artist Pablo Picasso and other well known ceramicists, Hofmann started as a decorator in the pottery studio called Cérenne in Vallauris, France. Employing about 50 people, the workshop was most active from 1949-1959, producing both utilitarian pieces and unique works for the domestic French and international markets. After 1959, Hofmann left Cérenne to open his own studio alongside his wife, Christiane. Together they also created utilitarian ceramics and decorative, original pieces. Their production works were included in Françoise Azais' ceramics exhibitions in La Bergerie, a centre known for showcasing some of the most well known ceramicists in Vallauris. The Hofmanns trademark pieces were in manganese red and of remarkable quality. (Refs: Marques et Signatures de la Céramique d'Art de la Côte d'Azur, Jean-Claude Martin, Edition Sudarène, 2009;
