Vase with Three Handles c. 1895

This striking "Vase with Three Handles" was created by Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat, a prominent French ceramist, around 1895. The piece showcases Dalpayrat's mastery of stoneware and his exploration of rich, textured glazes. The vase's bulbous form and three distinctive handles, crafted from a deep red and ochre glaze, speak to the influence of Asian art on his work, a stylistic trend prevalent in European ceramics during the late 19th century. Standing at 87.5 cm tall and weighing 22 kg, this piece demonstrates Dalpayrat's commitment to creating both aesthetically pleasing and robust ceramic objects.
