Fernand Lacaf Deep Blue Glazed Ceramic Covered Pot, 1950sThe description of this item has been automatically translated. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Enameled ceramic covered box or pot made by Fernand Lacaf and dating from the 1950s. This piece presents a sober and balanced form, typical of the ceramist\'s work, with a deep glaze in green and petroleum blue nuances, evoking research into cutlery inspired by oriental ceramics.
The decoration is mainly based on the work of material and enamel, with effects of drippings and rich textures which recall the experiments in post-war French ceramics. The slightly curved shape, combined with a marked neck and a perfectly fitted lid, demonstrates the concern for rigor and harmony specific to the Lacaf workshop.
Signed under the base \"LACAF\" and numbered.
Fernand Lacaf (1920-1991), trained in Applied Arts in Paris, founded his workshop in 1944. With his wife Françoise Delacourt Lacaf, the duo developed a unique work: Fernand shapes the volumes while Françoise works on the decorations. Their work evolved in the 1950s towards in-depth research on enamels, inspired in particular by Song and oriental ceramics. They favor pieces in small series, highlighting artisanal quality and experimentation with materials. Their work, still relatively confidential today, is recognized for its high quality and artistic standards.
