FULL-COLOR, 118-PAGE CATALOG FEATURING WORKS BY ADRIEN DALPAYRAT.
Adrien Dalpayrat (1844-1910) began his career as a faïence painter, working at six manufactories between 1867 and 1888 before settling near Paris in 1889. There he devoted himself to stoneware, a material then held in high esteem by French art potters. Working alone and with collaborators, Dalpayrat produced a vast range of shapes and decorations. He was so well known for his oxblood flambé pottery that the term "Dalpayrat red" was coined to designate his distinctive glaze. Perfected in 1892, it is dappled or veined with greens, blues and yellows, and appears on pieces in the form of gourds, fruits, and shapes derived from Japanese bottles.
The catalogue features a biography by Paul Arthur and an essay by Etienne Tornier, as well as 118 full color pages that showcase the 46 piece collection exhibited at TEFAF 2016.
