Teapot / Coffee pot in stoneware by Pierre Digan. In good condition / Careful packaging and fast delivery. Height of teapot 20 cm. Diameter of teapot 11.4 cm. Pierre Digan (1941–2016) was a French ceramicist, sculptor, and publisher.
Born in Paris to a Guadeloupean pharmacist father and a mother from the Morvan massif, he studied at the Beaux-Arts of Beaune (Côte d'Or) between 1956 and 1959, under the sculptor ceramist Michel Lucotte.
He then worked in potteries in the South of France, particularly in Vallauris, before settling in La Borne (Cher) in 1960, where he made his mark on the history of French ceramics. In La Borne, he co-founded the Digan Grès company with his partner, the English potter Janet Stedman.
Together, they trained over 200 apprentices and turning companions between 1967 and 1979, contributing to the rise of a generation of ceramic artist.
In the 1970s, his workshop enjoyed great success, notably through architectural achievements for public monuments and companies like Sacem, Publicis, or Air Inter. From the 1980s, facing the decline of ceramics, Pierre Digan left La Borne to settle in Limousin, where he dedicated himself to monumental sculpture and writing.
He published several works on his own art and that of his contemporaries, illustrating his dynamism and adaptation to societal changes.
He also co-founded the International Ceramic Symposium of La Borne in 1977, enhancing his legacy in the world of French ceramics. L: 11 l: 11 H: 20
