Cup

Designer Auguste Delaherche French
1922
Not on view
Delaherche is principally known for a masterful series of robust and experimental Japanese-inspired salt-glazed stoneware vessels made at
the end of the nineteenth century. Since the market for these pieces was limited, he also made wares with a broader appeal such as this porcelain bowl from a series he made beginning in 1910. Its material and technique specifically reference an eighteenth-century Chinese export porcelain known as blanc-de-Chine.
