Fabienne Jouvin Paris trinket dish—blue gourd pattern

This is the third of three pieces by this artist that I am listing. Designed by Fabienne Jouvin, a French artist, this small ceramic trinket dish features her unique concepts and design. Describing her creations and creative process, in her own words, she has shared: From my travels— from Tokyo to The Habana, from the streets of Paris to the sea bed of the Maldives— I bring back sketchbooks, pads of notes, drawings and collages: Hispanic or contemporary architectures, faces reminding those of Pierre Della Francesca, enigmatic objects not identified . . .. These spontaneous sketchbooks give rise to unique pieces and editions, painting, textiles, porcelain, cloisonné . . .. I like to play with anachronisms and correspondences, to match color patches and precision for observations, to mix austerity and humor, rigor and spontaneity. This piece includes her sometimes employed signature irregular shape. The overlap of the two sides is a variation of its basic Asian saucer shape. This dish, the blue gourd pattern, focuses on a branch with blue gourds against a soft cream textured background. It is lovely in its nuanced delicate simplicity. Three of these saucers have been listed. (See separate listings for the other two by Fabienne Jouvin.) Each is $45. If all three are purchased together as a bundle, the buyer will receive a discount of 25%. Individually each is lovely. Together they present a striking collection.
