About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This ceramic trinket dish evokes the extraordinary creative freedom that characterized Vallauris during the 1960s and 70s. Ceramics readily left the tabletop to grace consoles, bookcases, and coffee tables. Forms became freer, glazes bolder, and everyday objects gradually took on the appearance of small sculptures. This is precisely what makes this piece so charming. Its asymmetrical silhouette unfolds in a particularly elegant movement. The dish gradually elongates before curving upwards into a long, curved end, almost drawn in a single stroke. One might see in it a folded leaf, a wave, a horn, or simply that organic abstraction so characteristic of the taste of the 1960s and 70s. The glaze work is remarkable. Deep browns mingle with ochre and amber tones, punctuated by spectacular cream and pearl-gray crystallizations. The firing process has created irregular, branching patterns reminiscent of sea foam, feathers, or certain mineral formations. Light plays across these different textures, revealing the nuances of the glaze in succession. It is also a true catch-all, designed to be used indoors. Place it on a console table in an entryway, on a chest of drawers to hold jewelry and small objects, or on a coffee table alongside fine books and a smoked glass vase. In the post-war decades, Vallauris experienced a period of remarkable artistic activity. Ceramicists experimented with forms, clays, glazes, and firing techniques, giving rise to a whole generation of objects where the line between function and decoration is intentionally blurred. Dimensions: approximately 17 cm long, 12 cm wide, 10 cm high at its widest point. In excellent condition.
