Grand plat "Le Lion" d'après Jean Cocteau - Pièce artistique en porcelaine Couleuvre

Jean Cocteau (after) - "Le Lion" dish - Couleuvre porcelain - 26 cm

Porcelain dish decorated with the Lion, after a design by Jean Cocteau, made by the Couleuvre manufacture.

This production is part of the collaboration between the artist and the Manufacture de Couleuvre, which, from the 1930s onwards, developed an artistic orientation by calling on contemporary designers. Jean Cocteau entrusted several original drawings, contributing to the international renown of this production.

The graphically powerful set perfectly illustrates Cocteau's poetic and symbolic universe, where the refined line gives full power to the figure of the lion.

Signature in the decor.
Diameter: 26 cm.
Very good condition.

An emblematic decorative piece, at the crossroads of art and 20th-century French ceramics.
