Jean Mayodon
€360.00
VAT included
A small conical bowl with a narrow foot, designed by Jean Mayodon for the Manufacture de Sèvres. The interior of the "Mayodon 11 Vase" is coated in a matt white enamel, creating a striking contrast with the depth of the Sèvres blue decoration on the exterior. Sèvres marks on the bottom.
An art object made entirely by hand by our craftsmen in the workshops of the Manufacture. Shades and variations may appear from one piece to another, making each one almost unique.
Jean Mayodon in his workshop at the Manufacture de Sèvres
Jean Mayodon (1893-1967) was a native of Sèvres, where he lived and worked in his personal studio for most of his life. From 1934 to 1939, he was appointed artistic advisor to the Manufacture de Sèvres, and then artistic director.
During this period, he created more than 80 vase shapes for the Manufacture.
Although he abandoned earthenware, his favourite material, for porcelain, he remained faithful to his main source of inspiration in his designs: Antiquity, evoked by rounds of tritons and mermaids, dancers, heroes and gods.
Jean Mayodon's personal production also includes large-scale works: fountains, sculptures, decorative panels, etc. intended for private homes, official buildings or large ocean liners.
