Vase
Designer René Buthaud French
Not on view
Buthaud rarely conceived his pots as utilitarian wares but rather as decorative works of art, treated as canvases in the round. The integral relationship between form and decoration can be seen in the bulbous shape of this vase and of the bodies that wrap around it. The visible cracks of the peau-de-serpent ("snakeskin") glaze are deliberate and characteristic of Buthaud’s sensuous work.
