Stoneware teapot Jean Maubrou

This beautiful piece captivates with its round and generous shape, its short spout, its wide circular handle, and its domed lid topped with a small knob. The glazing features stunning shades of beige, honey, and rosy brown, animated by broad cream drips that highlight the artisanal charm of the piece. The whole exudes a warm and authentic presence, typical of the stoneware from Puisaye in the mid-20th century. Jean Maubrou is a French ceramist based in Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye, a renowned centre of stoneware tradition. His work is distinguished by simple, balanced, and utilitarian forms, always enhanced by beautiful nuanced glazes. He holds an important place in the ceramics of Puisaye, and his pieces are now sought after for their character, which is both understated, decorative, and deeply artisanal. A major artist referenced in the book "Grès de Puisaye - from Jean Carriès to the present - Marks and signatures". Dimensions: Height: 16 cm. Diameter: 21 cm. Signed. Very good condition, with a note of a micro crack on the spout.
