Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

A glazed ceramic (or stoneware) pitcher or jug, decorated with erotic scenes, signed by Paul Quéré*, Atelier Le Minotaure, dating from the 1950s. This pitcher is baluster-shaped, topped with a slightly flared cylindrical neck fitted with a small pinched spout. A thick handle connects the top of the neck to the shoulder.

A wide polychrome frieze on the body depicts several figures in suggestive poses: nude men and women in erotic scenes, all surrounded by beautiful blooming flowers and foliage. The base bears the signatures AQ and Le Minotaure.

* Paul Quéré, Atelier Le Minotaure (1931–1993):

Potter, painter, and poet, Paul Quéré produced most of his work in Saint-Paul de Vence and later in Port Grimaud. With his partner, Ariane Mathieu, they distributed their work under the name Le Minotaure AQ workshop. Their pieces featured muted glazes and geometric designs of high quality. In 1979, they returned to Brittany and continued to produce ceramics, but Paul Quéré focused more on painting, creating abstract and high-quality works.

This pitcher is in good condition and of superb quality, very decorative. Note: minor glaze imperfections and slight wear consistent with age, see photos.
