JACQUELINE LERAT (1920-2009) - LERAT COLLECTIONJapan , c. 1965Vase . Stoneware, black glaze. Signed LERAT, in incised letters towards the base and bears the n° 6669 in incised figures under the base. Height: 13 cmProvenance : Lerat Collection. To note : This work is referenced under the n° 861 in the Lerat archives. [This small vase with a Japanese-inspired glaze reflects the presence of oriental ceramics in the work of Jean and Jacqueline Lerat. This is noticeable in Jacqueline's use of black sigils to reinforce the expression of the surfaces. She had on her table a beautiful book on Japanese ceramics related to the tea ceremony. Jean is very rarely inspired by the Far East]. F.L.
