Figure of a bear
Stoneware, glaze, 9.2 x 8.1 cm, by Ernest Chaplet, c. 1891-95
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
 

A ceramic bear figure with a thick, textured turquoise glaze that gives a vibrant yet soft effect to its rounded, minimalist form. The piece shows Chapelt’s skill in experimental glazes through subtle colour variations and the pitted surface.
