A former music-hall artist turned ceramist, Sagan imbued his creations with a raw theatricality that stood out within the Vallauris production of the 1950s. This model is distinguished by intricate openwork at the neck, creating a play of light and shadow that highlights the modernity of its silhouette.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"449\"\u003eA solar and archaic design\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe decor unfolds a bold geometric composition, typical of the artist's \"instinctive\" style: a vibrant contrast between an intense solar yellow, a textured gray, and deep black accents, while a frieze of diamonds and points, punctuated by stylized plant motifs, recalls the influences of Tribal Arts and Mediterranean antiquity, with the entirely yellow-glazed interior capturing the light and radiating through the cutouts of the neck, offering a radiant, sunny presence to the object.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"963\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"963\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jacques Sagan (signed under the base)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e: Vallauris, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePeriod\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e: Circa 1955\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e: Enameled ceramic with openwork decoration\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e: Height 34 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"1143\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece is in beautiful vintage condition, retaining all its decorative power. True to our commitment to transparency, we note a few signs of age that are part of its history: Slight enamel chips and nibbles are visible on the openwork collar. Small chips are present on the base of the pedestal. The enamel shows a beautiful authentic patina with some natural crazing. These minor imperfections are inherent to the firing technique and the age of the piece; they do not alter the structural integrity or the sunny aesthetic of this exceptional vase.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"1707\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Studio Cinquante Perspective\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u0026nbsp;\"This vase is a piece with character.
