Baudin (1853-1918) 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. Eugene
Baudin Vase Elegant,
small baluster form, covered in the kind of glaze
that made Baudin famous -- a deep, rich, satin
Raspberry over a creamy velvet Ivory. Soft as a
baby's bottom. (See detail, below left) A
particularly choice example by this renown potter.

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.
