Stanislas Reychan MBE Studio Pottery – Hand Built Tin Glazed Black Bull RARE.

Impressed stamp to side and name stamp to back leg. Lovely condition, some firing hairlines to base, see final photo. Stanislas Reychan was born in Vienna in 1897, the son of a Polish father and an Austrian mother. During the Second World War, he fled to Hungary, then Paris, before joining the Polish Army in the UK, deciding to stay here after being demobbed in 1949. With an interest in pottery, he went on to study at the Central School of Art under Dora Billington, before opening his own studio in 1950. One of his first exhibitions was at the Craft Potters’ Association, and others soon followed, including at Heffers in Cambridge. He became widely respected and exhibited, and won a Silver Medal in 1960 at the Paris Salon. His work is beginning to be collected widely and one of his works,’Prometheus’, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum collection, C. 205-199 and also in the Ceramics Museum, York alongside the likes of Dame Lucie Rie, Hans Coper, Bernard Leach and Richard Batterham. This is certain to be an appreciating asset for the future!
