French

Jean Luce was a French ceramist and glass designer. He opened his own shop in 1923 and he collaborated with other important craftsmen of the period. Luce exhibited at the major Paris exhibitions for the decorative arts, and he was commissioned to supply ceramic designs for the French liner SS Normandie. In 1937 became a member of the Union Artiste Moderne, a group of artists formed in 1930 who rejected the more conservative luxurious style of the 1920s to create a modern machine age aesthetic.
