Fernand Elchinger Vase / Pitcher ´ 1950

This is one of the most impressive pieces by ceramist Fernand Elchinger, this large vase opens and flares like the petals of a flower or the wings of a bird, in a spirit of free form. This piece is an exceptional production from the mid-twentieth century. This vase is in good condition, a small enamel jump at the base very discreet (see photo). Signed, underneath, hollow, Elchinger France “Céramiques ELCHINGER”, is a family business established in Soufflensheim in Alsace in 1834. Since that time, generations have followed one another and offer a production as varied as it is avant-garde. Léon Elchinger (1871–1942) will make an impression with artistic stoneware productions as well as magnificent Art Nouveau and then Art Deco pottery, with magnificent colors and brilliance. Less known than the Chambost, Ruellan, Jouve and Capron, Fernand Elchinger (1911–1975) will be one of the great potters of the mid-century. We appreciate his free-form productions, handkerchief vase, cone, aroma and above all the play of contrasts between deep blacks and bright yellows, reds or greens. We offer delivery for mainland France.
