Meet The Maker
Jean Roger
After establishing his first studio in 1947, Roger set out to create pieces belying the heaviness associated with works of clay. It is this idea of making the heavy seem light that led to his cabbage tableware, tulip and flame candle holders, lamps, vases, and decorative objects in the shape of palm trees and pineapples. Jean Roger’s aesthetic lives on in the hand-crafted ceramics of his grandson Francois who creates pieces with a playful nod to history. Located in the heart of Paris since 1971, this studio has had three generations of ceramists at the wheel.
