Signed "jdl," the piece exemplifies de Lespinasse's mastery during his time on the French Riviera. Crafted in Nice after World War II, the vase showcases his signature use of glazes, achieving a beautiful interplay between matte and shiny finishes.

With a height of 10 inches (25.4 cm) and a diameter of 6 inches (15.24 cm), this unique work would make a striking addition to any collection.

Jean de Lespinasse created with his wife the Socfra produced ceramics from the end of the 1940s in Nice. Their paths crossed that of Roger Capron and his wife Jacotte, the Madoura workshops, Robert Picault and Georges Tardieu.
