Alexandre Kostanda Cluny ceramic.
Born Poland 1924
Two superb ceramic plates, engraved marks ” A Kostanda Cluny”. Both in perfect condition.
After a passage in Biot Kostanda went to Cluny in 1942. Taught to the founders of Accolay during the war, and went to Vallauris in 1942. Kostanda has been described as one of the master ceramic potter of the 20th century. His ceramics are most perfect techniques using very cooking temperatures to give a particular style of his own. Being a ceramic collector : it is a pleasure to touch his fascinating texture. These two plates can be dated from the second war period.
