Vase Eugène Lion - Copper Red

Red stoneware vase with copper glaze signed by Eugène Lion – School of Jean Carriès. Superb stoneware vase signed by Eugène Lion, remarkable for its deep copper red glaze, with nuanced reflections of burgundy, brown, dark violet, and metallic effects. The slightly striated surface reveals the richness of the firing process and gives the piece a presence that is both understated, powerful, and very elegant. Its elongated shape, slightly narrowed at the centre and flared at the neck, perfectly showcases the stoneware material and the variations in the glaze. The copper red, particularly sought after in Eugène Lion's work, provides a rare depth, with changing effects depending on the light. Eugène Lion, a major figure in Puisaye stoneware, comes from a family of potters and is part of the direct legacy of the school of Jean Carriès. His work is distinguished by a great mastery of throwing and remarkable research on glazes, particularly around copper red, which has contributed to his reputation among collectors. A major artist, referenced in the book Grès de Puisaye - from Jean Carriès to the present - Marks and signatures. Dimensions: Height: 11 cm. Diameter: 7 cm. Signed. Perfect condition.
