Pierre BAYLE (1945–2004). - Lot 292
Pierre BAYLE (1945–2004).
Flared box on a thin foot.
Engobed terracotta, known as “sigillata,” signed and dated (19)81.
H_21 cm D_39 cm (with lid), cracks and chips in the glaze
Provenance: private collection in Occitania, from a friend of Pierre Bayle.
Note: A ceramist from the Languedoc region, trained in Castelnaudary, Pierre Bayle combined traditional craftsmanship with avant-garde experimentation, establishing ceramics as an art form in its own right, straddling the line between utilitarian and decorative objects. He creates works in sigillata clay—first engobed and then smoked—with surfaces treated to highlight their texture and crackle patterns, which lend depth and uniqueness to his pieces.
