Background: Eugene Baudin (1853-1918) Widely recognized Art Nouveau era French master craftsman, Baudin was born into a china-worker family. He adopted the trade, working in Vierzon and Charenton. Also a political activist, he was convicted and sentenced to death, which he escaped by self-exile to England where he worked at Lambeth and Stoke-on-Trent. Receiving amnesty in 1881, he returned to France and subsequently founded the Poterie de Monaco in 1906. He is, perhaps, best known for his simple, yet sophisticated forms, and his uniquely soft, satin-matte glazes, of which this is an excellent example.
