Auguste Jules Alphonse Jouant was born in Paris, Cité Fénelon, in the 9th arrondissement, on June 19, 18632, son of Étienne Alphonse Jouant, carpenter, and Louise Carré.
A student of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris3, Jules Jouant was one of Auguste Rodin's practitioners. He exhibited the Bust of Prince Gedroyc at the Salon of 1883 and sculpted busts of musicians such as Richard Wagner, Frédéric Chopin or Ludwig van Beethoven. He obtained an honorable mention at the Salon of 1913.

Apple Sculpture by Per Hammarström, Sweden, 1980’s / 1990’s
By Per Hammarström
Located in Stockholm, SE
Apple sculpture by Per Hammarström,
Sweden, 1980’s / 1990’s.
Stoneware.
Signed.
Per Hammarström is one of Sweden’s most highly regarded ceramicists. Per’s work doesn’t conform to the Swedish style of simplicity; instead he loves colour and texture, and exploring the multi-faceted function of ceramics. Per began his training at the Gustavsbergs Porcelain Studio in 1978, which is sadly no longer in existence. In 1984 he opened his own studio in Strängnäs, and has worked in this manner ever since.
Per’s work is characterised by organic forms and his own distinctive glazes, often in bright colours and strong contrasts. His work is unique, each piece starting out as a roughly thrown form, which is worked and transformed into bowls that are characterised by their delicacy and translucency. The organic form is embodied in the textured ceramics of Per. His works are either made from stoneware or porcelain.
The inspiration of much of his work is the sea, but he also draws from flora and fauna; and the changing of the seasons. The undulating colours of the sea, sky and land manifest themselves in his delicately crafted and vividly coloured ceramics. Through elaborate dining-ware and ceramic ornaments...
