Jean Cocteau

French poet, illustrator, painter, playwright and film-maker, Jean Cocteau was one of the most important artists of the 20th century. "Pottery has saved my life! That spared me the use of ink which is too dangerous, since all that we write is systematically distorsed by those who read it." Jean Cocteau was an all-round artist, and became interested in ceramics between 1957 and 1963, in the studio of Madeleine Jolly and Philippe Madeline in Villefranche-sur-Mer where he created more than 300 pieces of earthenware. "Proud to have become an artisan-ceramist", he created pieces with clean and graphic lines, true to the style of his drawings. He used his favourite motifs, with mythical and magical inspirations: tragic mythological heroes, fantastic plants, and angels and fairy-tale characters embody the poet's brilliant and vivid imagination. In 1983 Raynaud works with Seta Aubusson to produce 250 copies of three motifs taken from Jean Cocteau's ceramic universe on dishes in a pale-pink clay body. Thirty-five years later, still fascinated by the ceramicist, Raynaud is presenting a complete new collection directly inspired by the works created by Jean Cocteau in the 1950s.

Inspired by Eighteenth Century’s scalloped porcelain, Aura is a modern and graphic reinterpretation of the models of the past. A soft and feminine writing, composed of intense strokes that are getting narrower towards lighter and more airy curves. The gold line and pellet illuminate the shaded blue of the model. Thus this decor writes a subtle and elegant color intensity.

Following the success of the Monceau gold trim and Monceau platinum trim collections, Raynaud has introduced thirteen colours to emphasize the pure lines of the Uni design. Mahogany Brown, Ultramarine Blue, Peacock Blue, Turquoise Blue, Lemon Yellow, Pearl Grey, Garnet Red, Mauve Pink, Empire Green, Jade Green, have now joined with Ink Black, Apricot Orange, and Vermilion Red to create an elegant and varied palette. This collection provides a modern and refreshing take on the sophisticated dinner table, or can be combined with other designs in the Raynaud collection.
