Double-handled pitcher in earthenware, signed Simone LARRIEU Art Deco 1930 1940

  

Pitcher with double handle in faience, signed Simone LARRIEU - Art Deco 1930 - 1940. Rare and original pitcher with double handle in hand-painted and glazed ceramic by Simone LARRIEU.

Signed at the base of the body. Her works are particularly rare on the market and are highly sought after due to their limited production and high quality. Her already high value continues to rise both in France and as far as Asia. Simone is the daughter of Octave LARRIEU, a ceramist himself, with whom she worked in a small workshop they created in 1930 in Maubourguet in the Hautes-Pyrénées. Her father was more focused on shapes, while Simone concentrated on decorations as she was also a watercolorist. Many pieces signed by Octave feature decorations made by Simone. It was in 1939 that she opened her own workshop in Gironde without completely abandoning the family workshop. She devoted herself more to painting at the end of World War II.

Simone's ceramic works are considered exceptional by specialists. Decor of stylized clematis flowers and leaves in shades of red, pink, violet, yellow, and brown on a beige background. Excellent condition (no cracks, no hairlines). 1 tiny chip at the spout, see last photo.

Width (including handles): 19 cm. Width of the body: 14 cm. Width at the base: 9 cm.
