Mid-Century French Ceramic Pitcher By Dupanier - 11½"

This striking mid-century pitcher, signed by Dupanier, and originally part of a juice set, showcases a flared hourglass silhouette and looped handle, finished in a glossy glaze. The exterior is decorated with vertical striations in yellow, black, and white, creating a dynamic rhythm that evokes hand-drawn texture and emphasizes the tapering form. The interior is glazed in a bright lemon yellow, adding a vivid contrast to the expressive surface design.

This piece exemplifies the playful geometry and bold palette of postwar modernist ceramics. Signed by the artist, this pitcher is emblematic of Dupanier’s spirited approach to mid-century ceramics, blending utility with expressive surface design.

Whether displayed on open shelving, used as a sculptural vase, or for serving beverages at summertime garden parties, it brings a burst of color, spontaneity, and French modernist charm to any interior.
