Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat, Small Glazed Stoneware Vase, late 19th century

Origin:
France, 19th century

This glazed stoneware vase was crafted by Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat in the late 19th century.

Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat (Limoges, 1844-Paris, 1910) is recognized as one of the most significant European ceramists of the late 19th century, particularly for his mastery of flamed stoneware. He worked for various faience factories before establishing his own workshop in Bourg-la-Reine. Dalpayrat’s near-exclusive avoidance of the potter’s wheel showcases his exceptional skill in the art of glazing. He often collaborated with Adèle Lesbros, and their works were met with considerable acclaim at various exhibitions.

The vase’s shape is inspired by a gourd, a common motif among Art Nouveau ceramists. The bulbous body culminates in a narrow opening, mimicking the natural form of a stem.

The glaze is a testament to Dalpayrat’s extraordinary technical prowess. The rich oxblood red, a signature of Dalpayrat, transitions into a matte gray on the body, with intermediate hues of blue and yellow. Subtle white scratches in relief enhance the already profound texture and depth of the piece.

Dalpayrat’s pomegranate mark is visible on the underside of the vase.

The Gourd-Shaped Vase housed in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, featuring similar color schemes, is another striking example of the artist’s inspiration and technique.
