Anthropomorphic Vase Signed Jacques Pouchain Circa 1970

Glazed ceramic in natural tones, this vase with a rounded silhouette is decorated with a relief decoration representing a stylized face and a central floral motif in a medallion. Typical of the work of Jacques Pouchain and the Dieulefit workshop, this piece illustrates his artistic approach mixing abstraction and figuration, characteristic of French ceramics of the 1970s.

Jacques Pouchain (1925-2015) is a leading figure in 20th century French ceramics. Based in Dieulefit, in the Drôme, he developed a unique style where refined forms and graphic motifs meet. Through his works, he explores a balance between utilitarian and sculpture, influenced by the spirit of modernity and the revival of post-war craftsmanship. His creations are today sought after for their sensitivity and timeless character.
