Jean Langlade Ceramic Elephant
4" x 2.75" x 5" high
French Art Deco ceramic. Nothing is known of French ceramist Jean Langlade's life before 1914, when he appeared in the Parisian suburb of Charenton-le-Pont, documented as a potter, moulder and a dealer in clay busts and figurines. His oeuvre included glazed earthenware vessels, figures, and porcelain ware. In 1920 he joined the ceramists of Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye (in central France), who were highly esteemed for their high fire stoneware. He began working in his wife's workshop in nearby Dampierre-sous-Bouhy in 1922.
