La Sirène is East Fork’s nod to the iconic blue hue that Henri Matisse used in many of his cut-outs. The color evoked for him volume, distance and quietude—not melancholy. Our blue was designed to layer into The Matisse Collection, providing a monochromatic block of color to contrast against the richness of our creamy Panna Cotta glaze. Blues are notoriously hard to make, and our version speaks to the blue in the decals but offers a slight tonal departure.

Pieces from The Matisse Collection - some plates and mugs - are displayed on a wooden bench with a book about Henri Matisse.

Celebrate Henri Matisse’s bold, joyful spirit with a pottery collection inspired by his love of color, shape and movement.
