Giverny

This JeanElton TallVase evokes the layered depth and movement of Monet’s gardens at Giverny—not in literal florals, but in the sweeping gesture of color, the interplay of light and shadow, and the atmospheric drift of painterly abstraction. Verdant greens, sapphire blues, and subtle golden accents fold and swirl together across the form, echoing the way natural elements blur and shimmer on water. The surface treatment is both lush and restrained, capturing a garden’s vitality through controlled spontaneity.

The exterior is matte, with the colors applied in cascading layers that create a sense of both depth and motion. The interior, in contrast, is a dramatic black matte, providing a visual anchor and drawing attention to the undulating rim that mimics the organic flow of foliage or petals at bloom. Together, the interior and exterior create a composition that feels both grounded and dreamlike—like a fleeting glimpse of beauty caught on the edge of memory.

The work is fired first to approximately 1800 degrees F, after which any remaining fine alterations are made, and the surface treatment is applied by hand by the artist. A second firing to about 2100 degrees F completes the process, ensuring its durability and artistic integrity.

This piece bears the JeanElton signature on its underside and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), both of which display its catalog reference.
