Catalogue Essay
Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat is perhaps most remembered for his unique development of the sang de bœuf glaze (commonly referred to as “Dalpayrat red”) as seen in many of the works in the present collection. His distinctive glazes paired with the sculptural forms of many of his works made him an internationally-recognized ceramist. Some of his forms draw on Asian ceramic antecedents as well as forms found in nature. During his brief collaboration with Alphonse Voisin-Delacroix, the pair created a range of works that often featured animals such as crabs, salamanders, and lizards—all present in this collection.
