Pol Chambost — Model 2025 Cup — Glazed Ceramic

Modernity and Fluidity

This glazed ceramic bowl is an authentic work by Pol Chambost (1906–1983), a major figure in the revival of French ceramics during the 1950s and 60s. Produced in his workshop in 1963, it bears the model number 1025 as well as period handwritten annotations under its base—signatures that are inseparable from the artist’s meticulous rigor. What immediately strikes the viewer is the mastery of the enameling: a deep, matte black exterior that contrasts with a cloud-like interior. The decoration appears alive, evolving from a dense jet-black to a pearly, white-grey center. The organic silhouette, with its soft, irregular edges, perfectly emphasizes the "free-form" approach characteristic of modern design from this period.

Condition Report 

 The piece is in excellent overall condition. The glaze remains intact, with no cracks or professional repairs. There are some slight, discreet signs of wear on the outer rim, which are consistent with its age and use—these contribute to its history without affecting its structural integrity. The resonance is clear and crystalline, attesting to the high quality of the ceramic.

Studio Cinquante’s perspective

What appeals to us about this piece is the remarkable depth of its enamel. This gradient from black to pearly white evokes a winter sky or a raw mineral stone. It is a work that perfectly embodies the spirit of the 1960s: a bold modernity that never sacrifices the sensitivity of the hand.
