Description
TIFFOCHE Gustave (1930–2011) – Vase in pyrite stoneware, with a curved body incised with a stylus, and two small handles emphasising the slightly flared neck. Signed with the stamp ‘GT’ and ‘Tiffoche’ on the base. 1980s. Height: 21 cm. Note: Gustave Tiffoche trained in ceramics at the Château de Ratilly alongside the Pierlot couple. He also spent time in La Borne, where some of his pieces refer to the town. He subsequently set up his studio in Guérande. In addition to his artistic practice, he worked as a teacher. Specialising in stoneware, he also produced a number of porcelain pieces with celadon glazes in the late 1980s. He undertook public commissions, notably fountains, such as those in Le Croisic and the Parc de la Beaujoire in Nantes. From the 1990s to the 2000s, he devoted himself more to painting. An exhibition dedicated to this artist from Guérande was held at the Porte Saint-Michel, Guérande’s museum, from 25 November 2023 to 22 September 2024.
