Product description
Rare and exceptional decorative plate or square ceramic dish (26 cm), attributed to Abbaye Notre-Dame du Bec and dating from the immediate post-war modernist period (circa 1950).
A collector's item and an absolute rarity:
This particular production from Abbaye N.D. du Bec is listed and documented by the recognized expert and collector Annie Beurrier. To attest to its uniqueness on the market: the only other known model belonging to the same family and by the same hand is precisely the one referenced by the specialized gallery on 1stDibs (offered at €1,680 for a rectangular format of 30 cm. See last photo)
The composition is structured around a rigorous abstract and geometric decor: a textured background enamel in grey-green and speckled shades, crossed by refined patterns in brown and iridescent tones. A textured vertical line ends in a brushstroke on the edge, crossing a horizontal structure that connects two geometric shapes with softened angles.
