Jean Cocteau
by Raynaud
Limoges porcelain
Jean Cocteau ( 1889 - 1963 ) was a French poet, illustrator, playwright and film-maker and was one of the most important artists of the 20th century. During the fifties he became interested in ceramics and he created more than 300 pieces of earhenware with clean and graphic lines, true to the style of his drawings. He used his favourite motifs; tragic mythological heroes, fantastic plants, angels and fairy-tale characters. Now, almost 70 years later, still fascinated by this faboulous artist, Raynaud presents a complete new collection, directly inspired by the works created by Jean Cocteau in the 1950s
This is not a "high-fired" decoration, so the following precautions of use and care should be observed:
- Washing up by hand is recommended
- Handle and stack with great care
- Avoid leaving acid foods ( marinades, vinaigrettes, sauces ) on plates for too long
- The black pattern will be naturally more subject to marks
- The cups contain platinum, so cannot be put in the microwave
