Pol Chambost (1906–1983), A Significant Bowl, Circa 1940–1950. Besnard, Jouve, Gatard, Primavera...
Artist: Pol Chambost (1906-1983)
A large ceramic bowl by Pol Chambost, circa 1940–1950.
The exterior features a magnificent "molette" decoration with brown incisions on a speckled white background, as does the reverse side, and the interior is coated with a beautiful moss-green glaze, featuring fine crackles.
A superb and significant piece by Pol Chambost from his Ivry period (1930–1950), during which most of his work was unsigned or marked only with “Made in France” stamps.
During this period, Chambost’s studio was just a few hundred meters from Jean Besnard’s, and I believe they greatly influenced one another, as their work is very often confused—it must be said that certain pieces are quite similar.
This bowl is no exception to the unsigned rule, but it is, of course, 200% guaranteed authentic—his son Philippe will confirm this to me.
It measures over 35 cm in diameter and 7 cm in height. In perfect original condition.
Pol Chambost needs no introduction—he was a famous French ceramicist active from the 1930s to the 1970s, best known for his creations from the 1950s and 1960s, a period during which he rivaled Jouve, Gatard, and Mado Jolain. He began by working for Colette Guéden in the 1930s and 1940s, then founded a studio in Ivry toward the end of the 1940s, very close to Jean Besnard’s; their work was quite similar during this period; He then began producing pieces with very modern shapes and colors. He collaborated with Jouve, Matégot, Roulot, Fouquet, and Pouchol. He later settled in the Périgord region.
