Rare coffee table “Hommage à Jean Cocteau” designed by Jean Marais and edited by Poltrona in Italy in 1972. Standing on three black wrought iron feet, with a carved and textured top painted off white. Both carved edges are representing faces from the side, very poetically, in the manner of Jean Cocteau profile drawings. This was a very confidential edition, only few pieces were made and sold. This piece is found in a very good vintage condition.
French actor Jean Marais (1913-1998), famous for his films with Jean Cocteau, was also a committed ceramicist, sculptor and painter. Later in life he worked extensively in Vallauris, the pottery town on the Riviera, producing vases, plates and sculptural pieces with expressive modelling and figurative themes. Collectors look for signed ceramics made in Vallauris, whose appeal lies in both their personal character and their link to a major figure of French cinema.
