Description

Close in form to the bowl pictured on the previous page, this example split in half in the kiln and was repaired with metal staples by Chaplet, who retained it in his personal collection. He passed it on to his son-in-law, the ceramist Emile Lenoble, from whose estate it was acquired. Clearly valued by Chaplet, this remarkable artifact documents the master’s attachment to his own work and held a special place in his life and the life of his family. Marks: painted rosary
