Jean Derval, sculptural clock, made from stoneware at Christofle, blends cubism and abstraction. Signed on the reverse.
History: Jean Derval was an important French ceramist. A graduate of the School of Applied Arts in Paris, Derval pursued his vocation in ceramics by creating stoneware services for the goldsmith house Christofle, reinterpreting lessons from cubism and abstraction. He then offered a vast repertoire of domestic pottery. In 1947, the artist joined his comrades Robert Picault and Roger Capron in Vallauris and became part of the famous Madoura workshop in 1949.
