Description

Malicorne earthenware planter decorated with vine tendrils, by the renowned ceramist Emile Tessier (1887-1971).

Originally from Malicorne, he was able to use a potter's wheel at the age of nine. He apprenticed as a decorative painter under Léon Pouplard. He founded his own factory in 1924, which would become the Malicorne Art Pottery (FAM). He sold openwork white earthenware.
His profound knowledge of the art of ceramics and his modern approach allowed him to establish one of the finest potteries in Western France. The entrepreneur drew his inspiration from the earthenware traditions of great, now-vanished centers such as Rouen and Strasbourg. He reinterpreted their motifs with his own unique touch. The company would employ up to one hundred people and be run by his family until his death in 1971. Our play fits perfectly within the body of work of Emile Tessier.

Circa 1930.
