Description
TIFFOCHE Gustave (1930–2011) – Pyritised stoneware lamp base, with a curved body incised with a stylus, set on a crenellated shoulder and ending in a tapered neck. Signed with the ‘GT’ stamp on the base. 1980s. Heights: 21 cm and 22 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 bear references 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 few 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 increasingly to painting. An exhibition dedicated to this artist from Guérande took place at the Porte Saint-Michel, Guérande Museum, from 25 November 2023 to 22 September 2024.
