About the Item

A beautiful vide-poche in brown ceramic made in Nice in the 1950s/1960s, signed by Jean de Lespinasse (1896-1979). It presents a beautiful etched and painted organic decor in the central plate, typical of Lespinasse work. The bottom part is striated as if for a cooking plate. The long handle gives the pieces equilibrium. Signature on the base "jdl". Perfect condition: no chip or crack. A resistance fighter on the Côte d'Azur during WW2, Jean de Lespinasse set up a local craft business at the end of the war, then he created SOCFRA with his wife, which produced ceramics from the end of the 1940s. His route will then intersect with that of Roger Capron and his wife Jacotte, the Madoura workshops, Robert Picault and Georges Tardieu. His ceramic workshop, located in the Cimiez district of Nice, employs around ten people (casting pieces, tinkering, baking biscuits, decoration, glazing, cooking, etc.). The raw materials used to make the biscuits, then to glaze the pieces, are purchased in Vallauris. Twice a year, the collections are presented at the Lyon Fair and at the Salon des Arts du Feu in Paris. The workshop also rented shops during the Summer season in Sainte-Maxime (from 1958 to 1961), Saint-Paul-de-Vence and Vallauris (which is why the name of this town appears under certain pieces), to sell its production made in Nice. The pieces generally bear the acronym “jdl” as well as a number, which corresponds to the catalog that Lespinasse and his son-in-law used when they went on tour to present the collections after each show. The workshop's activity ceased in the early 1980s, after the death of the founder. The pieces signed by the Jean de Lespinasse workshop are generally large, nervous and very structured. We especially note a great work in the enamel, between the matte and the glossy ones, which demonstrates a great mastery of the art of ceramics. A detailed certificate will be issued to the buyer.
