ProfessionnelDescription du produit
A beautiful creation by Gabriel Fourmaintraux, this large cherry pot is part of the revival of Desvres faience during the 1950s and 1960s, when forms stemming from French domestic traditions adopted freer, more graphic, and resolutely modern decorations. Gabriel Fourmaintraux belongs to one of the great families of Desvres faience makers, a major ceramic center in northern France. Heir to expertise developed over several generations, he contributed to the renewal of the family's production in the 20th century by developing an instantly recognizable repertoire, where color, the painter's brushstroke, and the simplification of motifs play an essential role. This white enameled earthenware pot is a very fine illustration of this. Its generous silhouette echoes that of large traditional preserving jars, with a cylindrical body, gently rounded shoulders, and a short neck finished with a thick molded rim. With its approximately 21 cm in height and 9 cm in diameter at the opening, the piece has a particularly decorative presence. The front bears the handwritten inscription "Cerises" (Cherries), accompanied by a completely hand-painted floral composition. The stylized flowers and foliage blend deep blue, olive green, orange-yellow, and brown in a spontaneous design characteristic of the 1960s aesthetic. The basket, rendered with a few broad strokes, and the freely drawn plant forms give the piece that graphic freshness sought after in post-war French ceramics. The handwritten signature "GF fait main" (GF handmade) on the base links the piece to Gabriel Fourmaintraux's production and emphasizes the artisanal nature of its decoration. Preserved in very good condition, with no cracks or chips, the pot features a beautiful glossy glaze and a particularly fresh decoration, with bold and luminous colors. A beautiful piece by Gabriel Fourmaintraux from Desvres, both utilitarian and decorative, representative of this 1960s French ceramic, now sought after for the simplicity of its forms and the freedom of its painted decorations.
