Beautiful raku work. 
Signed GBG.

Gisèle Buthod-Garçon is a key figure in contemporary ceramics. For more than three decades she has explored the endless possibilities of raku, the ancestral firing technique she has brilliantly reinvented.

Based on the so-called “American raku” firing method invented in the 1950s by Paul Soldner, Gisèle works contemporary raku in a sculptural manner, skilfully playing with colours, blending warm and cool tones and matte, glossy or pearly glazes. 

She gives her pieces ample, simple, curved volumes and forms. Her work is distinguished by its poetry and sensuality. 
The glazes she works with great mastery give her pieces remarkable depth and chromatic richness.
