Large vase by Eugène Lion - Art Nouveau naturalist.

Beautiful and large stoneware vase signed Eugène Lion, with an elongated silhouette that slightly narrows at the neck. Its simple shape highlights a deep glaze, featuring natural shades of brown, ochre, olive green, and honey, with beautiful firing effects that give the surface a lively and mineral appearance. The piece shows discreet dark drips and variations in texture that enhance its artisanal character. The whole exudes a simple, authentic, and elegant presence, typical of the stoneware from Puisaye, where the material, firing, and balance of form play an essential role. Eugène Lion, a ceramist associated with the school of Jean Carriès, comes from a family of potters based in Puisaye. His work is distinguished by a great mastery of throwing, simple forms, and an in-depth exploration of glazes. His pieces are now sought after for their discreet power, quality of material, and connection to the history of French artistic stoneware.
