Adrien Dalpayrat

A comprehensive exploration of the life and works of French ceramicist Adrien Dalpayrat, this book presents his late nineteenth-century artistry in a luxurious, oversized format. Dalpayrat is renowned for his distinctive oxblood glazes and a wide range of stoneware forms, from gourds to fantastical marine creatures. The volume collects works held in major collections around the world, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Musée d'Orsay, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Cooper-Hewitt. Architect Peter Marino shares his Dalpayrat masterpieces, each reproduced in 270 color illustrations. A foreword by Peter Marino and insightful essays by curator Etienne Tornier accompany an extensive plates section of Dalpayrat’s works. The edition matches the trim size of Peter Marino’s Théodore Deck, making it a fitting companion piece.

The publication emphasizes the collaboration between collector and scholar, with authoritative context provided by Tornier and a foreword by Marino. The book is a hardcover edition from Phaidon France, released in 2020, spanning 272 pages.
