This hand-thrown raku vessel by celebrated French ceramicist Gisèle Buthod-Garçon embodies the artist’s masterful interplay of earth, fire, and form. The generously rounded body rises to a subtly flared, textured collar in deep, smoky brown, providing a striking contrast to the luminous glaze below. Shades of ochre, earth, and other delicate hues merge across the surface, enriched by the characteristic crackle and organic markings born of the raku firing process. Buthod-Garçon’s approach to American raku—where the piece is removed from the kiln while red-hot and placed in combustible materials—imparts unique tonal variations and intricate surface patterns, making each work entirely singular. The vessel’s tactile presence and elemental palette speak to the artist’s inspiration drawn from travel, nature, and the dialogue between tradition and innovation. In good overall condition. The maker's mark is camouflaged within the neck of the piece. Dimensions : H 17.5 cm / 6.9" Dia 25 cm / 9.8" See less
