Jean Austruy ceramic lamp

Large table lamp by ceramist Jean Austruy (1910-2012) with a raised red glaze decoration around the rim. Like Suzanne Ramié (Madoura) or Robert Picault, Jean Austruy is part of the post-war generation of ceramists who reinterpreted traditional folk pottery, thus participating in the revival of the arts of earth and fire. A trained designer and sculptor, he redesigned vases and jugs by modernizing the handles with volutes and twists. The rhythm brings freshness and a new fantasy to the everyday object, which thus asserts its dual utilitarian and decorative role. The colors of the 1940s are united with glazed or metallic effects.

Indicative dimensions in cm of the lamp base: H30 cm ø base 13 circumference 60 - weight 2.7 kg. Presentation lampshade not included. Note: photo with a lampshade of a more suitable shape it seems to me, as an example. 📦 delivery by colissimo, free hand delivery in Lille or in the region by me depending on distance.
