Rene Buthhaud/J. Doris-Signed Art Pottery Vase with Peau-de-serpent Design
Rene Buthhaud (French, 1886-1987) art pottery vase with peau-de-serpent (snakeskin) glazed design.
Trained in painting and etching at the ecole de beaux arts in paris, he later won a prix de rome. Such classical training likely influenced his proclivity for the female figure, as did his friendship with the artist Jean Dupas, who, following world war I, encouraged his interest in ceramics. In 1923, Buthaud established the ceramics division of Primavera, the decorating and interior design division of Au Printemps, a large retailer. There, he developed his particular style, incorporating figurative imagery visually integrated with bulbous forms. Beginning in 1928 he supplied works to Maison Georges Rouard, a noted vendor of ceramics and glassware located in the fashionable rue de l’Opéra. Buthaud rarely conceived his pots as utilitarian wares but rather treated them as decorative works of art—canvases in the round. Buthaud was under exclusive contract with a parisian gallery and therefore signed his private sales works "J. Doris" for the American market. Glazed signature to underside J. Doris.
