Jacques Blin Light Gray to Light Lavender French Ceramic Vase, circa 1960
About the Item
Jacques Blin French ceramic vase with iconic sgrafitto decoration.
The size is impressive and the color of the glazes are rare in a Jacques Blin vase. This example is light gray tending to light lavender with the scrafitto showing black in the line work. The glaze is applied like a painter working on cavas.
The scrafiitto decoration that was his calling card is strong and graphic.
Jacques Blin (France, 1920-1995) was a aeronautical engineer by training, Jacques Blin created in parallel at home his first ceramic works. In 1954, he set up a workshop in Paris and exhibited at the Maison de la Chimie and at the Salon des Ceramistes et métiers d'art. His molded pieces with cloud enamel and decorations engraved with birds and animals were immediately very successful. His other works followed. He was president of the Chamber of Trade Union of Ceramists and Art Workshops for twenty years.
Blin has an immediately recognisable style characterised by a more or less misty appearance of the glaze and by decoration deeply marked in the raw clay, a method he used throughout his career.
He frequently depicted fanciful birds, animals, stylized figures and whimsical abstract motifs in his works which are always signed "J. Blin".
