ROGER GUERIN
A wonderful Roger Guérin vase model 762 with a nice blue drip glaze. Guérin the famous potter from the village of Bouffioulx near Charleroi. The vase stands 23,5 cm tall (9-1/4"). The decoration is a 10,3 cm wide band of 6 hamadryas baboons under a great partially crystalline glaze.
The vase is in excellent condition. The chips we see at the bottom are no damages but the spots where the four-armed iron support where the vase stood on in the oven. The vase is signed "grès d'Art R.Guérin Bouffioulx" and shows the model number 762.
Most vases by Roger Guérin (1896-1954) are in hand thrown stoneware like the one two and three hundred series. But he also produced a serial of vases and sculptures using liquid clay and a mould: the 600 and 700 series. See the last picture of some more examples. This sale is for one vase #762 only.
***
From the early Middle Ages onwards pottery was made in the villages of Bouffioulx and Châtelet near the outskirts of the city of Charleroi. Due to the industrialization in the 19th century the activity and skills languished. When at the turn of the 20th century the painter Willem Delsaux came to live in Bouffioulx he got intrigued by the old tradition of the place and he took up pottery. Delsaux hired the most talented sons of local potters. Amongst them Edgard Aubry and Roger Guérin. Where Aubry soon left. Started to work for himself and became the most important Belgian art potter of the first half of the 20th century. Roger Guérin married the daughter of Delsaux and took over the company in 1918 when Delsaux left Bouffioulx and took up painting again. Guérin, less talented as an artist as Aubry but with outstanding skills and a good sense for business turned the Delsaux workshop into a thriving company with over 40 employees. It is not the mass production like the ikea under the Belgian art deco pottery Charles Catteau. But in the 20s and 30s the vases of the 100 serie where produced in high volumes. The good high-end Roger Guérin pieces are hard to get by these days. Almost all is stuck in collections or at antique dealers. And most of what we see on offer are either common Roger Guérin vases or (more often) incorrectly described junk made by his son Jules Guérin: mainly vases from the 50s 60s and 70s offered as Roger Guérin vases.
