La collection Buffile, nous raconte l’histoire de la céramique d’Aix en Provence animée par les céramistes Georges Jouve, Jean et Jo Amado ou Carlos Fernandez. Originaires de Marseille, Jean Buffile rencontre sa femme Léonie et s’installe à Aix où au début de leur carrière ils cuisent leur production chez Jean Amado avant d’avoir leur propre atelier. Leur céramique culinaire et artistique rencontre un grand succès à partir des années 50 et leur permettra de collaborer dans des projets architecturaux entre Marseille et Aix en Provence. Ils produisent une faïence à motifs abstraits aux couleurs éclatantes comme le orange de notre plat (lot 119). Les céramiques de Georges Jouve ici présentées sont des cadeaux de Jacqueline Jouve proche de la famille Buffile. Durant de nombreuses années les deux familles échangeront autour de ce matériau qui les unit. Des œuvres symboles d’une amitié forte entre céramistes mythiques d’Aix en Provence.
