Vase box in white glazed stoneware and manganese scarification, monogrammed JP in Dieulefit, 60s.
Jacques Pouchain studied architecture in Paris, then moved to Dieulefit in the Drôme. In the pottery factory of Poet-Laval he learned ceramics and opened his workshop in 1958 where he created a personal work and a utilitarian production. His practice of a white enamel placed on a manganese oxide that shows an engraved decoration is quite close to the Anglo-Saxon practices of the 50s. In the 60s, he approached abstraction before developing, in the 70s, the theme of femininity and fertility.
