Georges Jouve White Crackle-glazed Ceramic Lamp Base Signed Alpha

Rare white crackle-glazed ceramic lamp base depicting a stylized female figure with free-flowing organic forms, characteristic of the sculptural research carried out by Georges Jouve during the second half of the 1950s.

This work belongs to one of the artist’s most sought-after periods, marked by a synthesis of sculpture and ceramics. The treatment of the face—reduced to a few essential lines—the hair constructed in successive volumes, and the overall balance of the composition all attest to his immediately recognizable formal language.

The piece offered here is of particular interest due to its provenance. It was acquired directly from Georges Jouve in 1958, as evidenced by the original certificate of authenticity. This documentation provides a particularly valuable means of tracing the artist’s work.

This sculpture is featured in the archive section of Karine Lacquement’s latest reference work, Georges Jouve.
