large pitcher by Jacques Blin with abstract patterns

This stunning ceramic pitcher is the work of Jacques Blin, a renowned French ceramicist known for his distinctive style of combining soft shapes and textured surfaces with etched decorations. This model features a slender silhouette with a curved handle and a slightly inclined spout. Its glaze, characteristic of Blin's works, adopts a cloudy blue-green hue with variations in tone and an almost ethereal appearance. The surface is decorated with abstract patterns etched into the material, representing a mixture of geometric figures and symbols inspired by primitive art or the artist's imaginary world. The slightly hazy appearance of the glaze and the depth of the engravings give this pitcher a unique charm, typical of Blin's work in the 1950s-1970s. A true testament to the ceramicist's craftsmanship and timeless style. The pitcher is signed under the base.
