Edmond LACHENAL (1855–1930)
Blue Crackle Ceramic Plate
Striking ceramic plate by Edmond Lachenal, featuring a signature crackle glaze in Lachenal’s iconic teal-blue palette. The glaze transitions from a softer blue at the rim to a richer, deeper blue pooling toward the center, emphasizing the plate’s gentle concavity. The surface displays a finely articulated crackle network, adding depth and movement, while the form and chromatic intensity reflect Egyptian Revival influences popular in early 20th-century French decorative arts. Signed by the artist on the verso, with age-appropriate wear to the underside consistent with period production.
About the Designer
Edmond Lachenal (France, 1855–1930) was a leading French ceramicist whose work bridged Art Nouveau and early Art Deco. Renowned for his experimental glazes—particularly flambé and crackle effects—Lachenal played a pivotal role in elevating studio ceramics in France. His work frequently drew on ancient and non-Western sources, including Egyptian and Asian motifs, interpreted through a modern, sculptural sensibility.
