Charming Diabolo vase attributed to Jean Besnard Circa 1930
About the Item
This exquisite 14 cm diameter footed bowl is attributed to Jean Besnard, a pioneer of modern French ceramics. Its striking form features a flared pedestal base supporting a deep, rounded bowl. The surface is decorated with a richly textured motif—raised, flame-like strokes in dark tones contrasting against a creamy, crackled glaze. The tactile quality of the exterior is balanced by the smooth, dark interior, giving the piece both visual and functional depth. Characteristic of Besnard’s style, the piece fuses traditional craftsmanship with bold, expressive decoration. Its sculptural presence and refined balance make it both a utilitarian vessel and an objet d’art. This bowl embodies the innovation and individuality that defined Jean Besnard’s contribution to early 20th-century French ceramics, making it a prized addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Jean Besnard (1889–1958) was a French ceramist known for his experimental glazes and engraved textures. A key figure in Art Deco pottery, he blended tradition with avant-garde innovation.

By Jean Besnard
