About the Item
An elegant cylindrical ceramic vase dating to the 1960s by Michel Barbier. The form is refined, with a narrow lip and a glossy, lustrous enamel glaze that envelops both body and rim. The central motif is a stylised figure—possibly a shepherd—rendered with Barbier’s characteristic charm and minimalism. On the reverse, a single cypress tree in a darker, richer blue offers a striking contrast to the softer tones of the main body. In good overall condition, this piece bears Barbier’s stylised bird maker’s mark on the underside—executed here in an unusually abstract form, adding to its uniqueness and collectability. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video will be provided.
About the Artist: Michel Barbier (1933-2012), was a ceramic decorator in Vallauris, France, for Gustave Reynaud's Le Mûrier, along with Jean Derval, Reynaud's brother-in-law, who designed production models. Barbier's pieces sported stylised birds and foliage which were the most common themes both for utilitarian and for exhibition pieces in which abstract motifs were also employed.

French Mid-Century Ceramic Vase by Atelier du Grand Chêne (circa 1950s) - Small
By Le Grand Chêne 1
Located in London, GB
French vintage ceramic vase by Atelier du Grand Chêne (circa 1950s). Painted with the image of a woman whose body conforms to the contour of the piece on one side and, on the other, a tulip whose long stem mimics that of the woman's neck. The ceramic is small in stature but large in charm and, at the same time, possesses a low-key sophistication reflecting the talents of the ceramicists who were initially trained as painters in Paris. The piece is in very good overall condition notwithstanding an almost invisible chip where the body meets the base. Maker's mark on the underside. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video will be provided.
About the Artist: L'Atelier du Grand Chêne was founded in Vallauris, France in 1948 by Odette Roche-Gourju (1904-1954) and Ljuba Naumovitch (1898-1955). These two painters, trained notably at the Paris Ecole des Arts Décoratifs, turned out to be excellent potters after the war. They set up their pottery near a large oak tree - hence the name 'Le Grand Chêne...
