Product description
Very beautiful cave rat / ceramic candlestick signed Jean Austruy, a famous French ceramist from the post-war period.
This piece features an original and sculptural shape, composed of a bowl accommodating the central candlestick and a large characteristic circular handle.
The ceramic is covered with a superb speckled glaze in shades of beige, grey, brown, and ochre, with a decoration of drips and wavy lines created around the edge.
The whole has a strong presence and perfectly illustrates the work of Jean Austruy, who combined utilitarian forms, intricately designed handles, and glazes with rich and textured effects.
Jean Austruy ( ), a ceramist based in Saint-Marcellin, belongs to that generation of artists who contributed to the revival of French ceramics after the war.
Signature "Austruy" under the base.
A vintage piece that is both decorative, authentic, and functional, ideal on a console, a table, or in a collection of French ceramics.
