About Michel
Denise Pointu
Michel and Denise Pointu were influential French ceramic artists active during the mid-20th century, working in the renowned pottery center of Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye, a historic hub for stoneware production in France.
Associated with the postwar studio ceramics movement, the Pointus specialized in high-fired stoneware (“grand feu”), emphasizing hand-thrown forms, expressive volumes, and richly nuanced glazes. Their work reflects the broader renewal of French ceramics after World War II, where functionality merged with sculptural and artistic expression.
Pieces by Michel
Denise Pointu are now appreciated for their authentic craftsmanship, strong modernist identity, and connection to the important Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye ceramic tradition, making them sought after by collectors of French mid-century pottery and studio ceramics.
