Roger Guerin (Belgium)

http://users.telenet.be/van-paulus-tot-guerin/

This plate is made by Jules Guerin (son of Roger).
Little information on the web about Jules Guerin. You can find info about the potters of the village Bouffioulx:

Same decoration as your plate

I would love to see more Guerin pottery,the 1920's work is particularly interesting to my eye

Hi,

I'll try to make some pictures of Roger Guerin pieces but i can't assure you that they are made in the 1920 because none of them are dated.

Reds

Here are a few photos Roger Guerin 1920

more pieces,

all of these are salt-glazed stoneware

what a superb collection! Have you found any good websites relating to Guerin pottery?

There is very little to find on the web, the only website where you can find info is the one i posted before and there are 2 books 'Sel et feu' / Marianne Fouconnier, Jean-Claude Migeot(French), and 'Au grès du grès de l' art nouveau à l'art deco  / Musée le Clockarium (French and Dutch). The photos above are al Roger Guerin items and just a little part of my collection of the potters of Bouffioulx.

This jug/ewer stands 12.1/2" high.







Can some one help with identification please.

I think the signature is Guerin. So maybe an armorial Bouffioulx bottle vase by Roger Guerin, Belgium.

I have a large pitcher/ewer from after my mother passed away which is signed on the bottom.
I am trying to determine if it is a Roger Guerin or from something affiliated with him.

Dimensions:
11 1/2 inches tall

7 1/2 inches wide (at belly)

3 1/4 inches wide opening at mouth

No cracks, chips, or repairs to this piece.

What its approximate age is and what it's value is if I were to sell it.

I would be most appreciative if someone could help me with this. Please see attached photos.

the base and markings make me think it was made by one of Roger's offspring but I'm only learning about this pottery so may be wrong.
An auction house with a track record for selling antique European studio pottery might be your best option but Boston is a great place to sell art and antiques so you should do well in your home town

The auction houses won't talk to you if the item is valued below their consignment price - many won't even look at something that is less than $10,000.
I'm suspecting this is not worth even $1000, but would like to know what it really is and what a reasonable selling price would be. Thank you to anyone who may be of assistance!

Thank you for these very informative postings. I have a Guerin vase with iron overlay. Sadly broken but looks great on display. I am thinking of getting it restored. Any opinions on whether this is a good thing? Many thanks

Roger Guerin piece probably 1940, keep it underestimated at the moment.

Too badly broken and pots undervalued at the moment, so not worth restoring, imo. It's value is as a reference piece only.

Hi All
I acquired this today and I think it is Guerin but wanted to know more. It appears that it might of featured in an Art Deco Belgique book but that's £80 to buy lol
If anyone can tell me more it would be great ?

Cheers
James

here's a link to the Guerin thread, a member called sdan had a similar piece which was probably made by Roger's offspring

Roger Guerin stoneware,crystalline glaze . Any idea on the date?

Hi Dan, I am sure it's the g loop from Gres.

He started his own workshop in 1918 with his son Jules Guerin taking over in about 1945. Dating seems to be a problem, generally accepted that incised "R Guerin" marks are earlier with simple Guerin signatures, some impressed, are after c1925. Items marked Gres d'art R. Guerin Bouffioulx are probably about 1930. Roger appears to have exhibited his pots Paris during the 1930's and he was a member of the Socieate des Gres d'art de Bouffioulx.

That's great ,thanks for your time.

do you have any more?
