About the Item
This ceramic pouring vessel, crafted by Jean Marais, showcases a refined black glaze with a smooth, slightly glossy finish. It features a rounded body that elegantly tapers into a pedestal base, ensuring stability. The wide spout is slightly curved, designed for precise pouring, while the thick, curved handle provides a comfortable grip. The artist’s signature, "Jean Marais," is subtly engraved on the front, adding authenticity and artistic value.
Jean Marais (1913–1998) was a renowned French actor, best known for his roles in classic films directed by Jean Cocteau. Later in life, he devoted himself to ceramic art, creating unique, expressive pieces that reflected his love for craftsmanship. His ceramics often bear sculptural qualities, combining artistic elegance with functionality. This vessel is a fine example of his dedication to the arts beyond cinema, embodying his passion for handmade design.
