Product description
The colossal ceramic bowl created by Roger Capron is much more than just a decorative object. Made in 1957, it measures 48 cm wide, 53 cm long and 37 cm deep, with a height of 19 cm. Originally conceived as a large cheese tray with a double wicker handle, this piece is emblematic of the artistic style of its time and testifies to the exceptional craftsmanship of its creator. Roger Capron, contemporary of the illustrious Pablo Picasso, made his mark on the world of ceramics with his innovative approach and bold creations. This generously-sized bowl is a true work of art, combining functionality and aesthetics. Although scratches and chips are visible in the photos, these imperfections tell the story of its use and add a touch of authenticity to this ancient masterpiece.
The original use of this object as a cheese tray also underlines its role in tableware, where it combines refined aesthetics with convivial practicality. The wicker handles not only facilitate transportation, but also bring a natural warmth to the ceramic, creating an interesting dialogue between materials. Roger Capron has always sought to express his artistic vision through his creations. His ability to marry organic forms with clean lines makes each piece a reflection of his culture and times. This colossal bowl, with its impressive design and harmonious proportions, perfectly embodies this philosophy. This piece is not only a relic of the past, but also a bridge between past and present.
Used as a showpiece in a contemporary interior, adding a note of elegance to any space. To own a Roger Capron bowl is to own a piece of art history, a tangible link to a time when ceramics was elevated to the rank of true art. It also offers the opportunity to appreciate the work of a craftsman whose influence still resonates in modern design. In short, every glance at this work evokes an admiration for art and culture, a tribute to a master ceramist who left an indelible mark on the art world.
