Jacques Blin, Vase Rouleau In Blue Glazed Ceramic, 20th Century

Jacques Blin blue glazed ceramic scroll vase with incised animal and geometric motifs. 

An iconic ceramist of the 1950s, Jacques Blin was born in Pierrefonds in 1920. A graduate of Industries Aéronautiques et Automobiles, he first taught industrial design in Paris, then worked as an engineer in La Rochelle. In 1949, he decided to give up aeronautics and took up art ceramics in various Parisian workshops. His meeting with the painter Jean Rustin (1928-2013) in the '50s enabled him to define the style of his production: the decoration is done freehand and the use of metallic oxides before glazing gives the background a cloudy effect.
