Biography

[edit]

Marie-Berthe Cazin (née Yvart) was married to Jean-Marie Michel Cazin,[1][2] and studied with his father, Jean-Charles Cazin.[3] She produced mostly decorative works, such as vases and plates, working in ceramic, hammered copper and silver, leather, horn and other.

It is believed that she worked alongside Jean-Michel throughout his entire career in ceramics and that many of the vases signed Jean-Michel were actually made by Berthe.[4] At some point she began to sign her ceramic work, which typically feature incised and relief floral decoration.

In 1913 she participated in the exposition with Henriette Tirman in Lyceum-Club.[5]

Other works

Marie-Berthe and her work is the subject of a new British musical, written by Rebecca Simmonds & Jack Miles, called In Clay, which premiered in London in 2022.
