Vase with four green handles

Auguste Delaherche French

Not on view

Delaherche’s experiments with Asian-inspired glazes and firing techniques enabled him to produce a range of colors and effects. The drip effect may look accidental, but it was the result of planning and skill. Delaherche was a perfectionist who abandoned any technique with results that could not be predicted or reproduced. He believed that anything achieved entirely by chance, no matter how beautiful, was not true art.
