Jean E. Puiforcat - Sauce Boat And Interior In Solid Silver Art Deco Period
Artist: Jean E. Puiforcat
This gravy boat is distinguishedis distinguished by a rigorous yet subtly architectural constructionwhere each element seems to be conceived as a mechanical articulationas much as aesthetic. The main body, a perfectly uncluttered cylindrical shapecylindrical shape, features a smooth, taut wall whose formal purity evokes themodernist research inherited from Kazimir Malevich.
It is held in place by a peripheral structurestructure made up of two slightly protruding vertical uprights, which givethe surface. These uprights are not simply decorativeThey are part of an ingenious screw fastening system,discreetly visible at their base. This screwed assembly ensures both thestability and the possibility of functional dismantling.
The square base, with its softenedThe square base, with its softened corners and slightly raised edge, acts as a structuring plinth.It accommodates the cylindrical body in a perfectly fitting circular cavitycavity, creating a visually elegant interplay of geometry - circle inscribed in a square -.visual elegance. The underside reveals the central fastening system,with a screwed disc that testifies to the care taken in construction and precision assembly.
The removable interior,contrasts with the sobriety of the exterior, reinforcing the ideaof an object that is both utilitarian and conceptual. The ensemble plays onoppositions: full and empty, mirror shine and satin matte, stability of the basestability of the base and apparent lightness of the container. A piece wherefunctionality is coupled with demanding formal reflection, inscribing thiscontemporary goldsmithing tradition at the crossroads of art and design.
