Mirror By Roland Zobel.

Glazed earthenware mirror by Roland Zobel Born in October 1945 in Fort de France (Martinique), son of the Martinican writer Joseph Zobel (1915-2006), Roland François Zobel studied at the School of Fine Arts in Bourges, then specializes in ceramics at the international school of Faenza (Italy). He settled in the Gard, in the village of Générargues, between Alès and Anduze. The place is important because the city of Anduze was an important center of pottery production (tableware, tiles, pipes, fountains, oil jars, etc.) from the 17th century: legend has it that at the fair de Beaucaire, a Cevennes potter saw Medici vases from Italy; on his return, he was inspired to create the Anduze vase, renowned today for its elegance with its garlands and macarons. Roland's first pieces use the glazed colors of the country.
