About the Item

Three small subjects in clay and raku firing fixed on lacquered wood. Each composition has the signature and date on a ceramic element inserted in the frame. Roger Capron discovered the Japanese technique of Raku in the late 1980s ; unique pieces emerged, from a fabulous bestiary to a gallery of portraits, according to the artist's overflowing imagination. The black lacquered wooden frame was made by the artist himself, giving the characters a slightly offbeat and humorous sophistication. These unique pieces are part of a limited series created by the artist during 1996. The condition of the ceramic is perfect. The frame may be subject to very small imperfections but which in no way detract from the beauty of the work. We can send additional detail photos upon simple request and are happy to share with you some of the most beautiful achievements of this great French ceramist across half a century of creation.
