Description from the seller

Vase in earthenware with a sculptural free form inspired by maritime shapes.
Both the white and the black parts have an iridescent glaze that provides shifting reflections ranging from blue to green.
Because of the irregular shape, the vase looks different from every angle.

Probably ceramic from the VERCERAM series, produced in Montreuil, near Paris. The production of ceramics with these two colors and in such shapes was characteristic of the factory in the 1950s and 1960s.

The style / form / colors of the vase also evoke the post-war work of Camillo Lusso (1919-1990, Turin, Italy). The attribution of the vase is therefore not entirely clear.

Unmarked or unstamped.
.
Dimensions: 28 x 13 x h: 40.5 cm

The vase is in very good condition: no cracks or breaks. Beautiful glossy glaze.

Carefully packed and insured shipping.
