AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A striking and elegant studio pottery bottle vase, most likely of French origin, handmade and decorated in 1972, as indicated by the signature and date on the underside of the base.
The piece has a particularly slender and sculptural form, with a slightly irregular cylindrical body, rounded shoulders and a narrow, gently flared neck. Its surface features a highly expressive, textured glaze in rich shades of anthracite black, grey, powder pink and deep red, arranged in broad abstract areas and vertical flowing accents.
A small applied ceramic element near the base enhances the experimental and handcrafted character of the vase, giving the silhouette an original and immediately recognisable appearance.
The restrained form, abstract decoration and richly tactile surface are strongly reminiscent of the finest French studio ceramics of the 1970s, characterised by modernist design, expressive glazing and an emphasis on material texture.
A highly decorative and visually impressive piece, ideal for a modern, Brutalist or minimalist interior, as well as for a collection of 20th-century studio ceramics.
Signature and date: signed underneath and dated 1972
Height: 39 cm
Base diameter: 5.5 cm
In very good overall condition. Variations in shape, colour, texture, speckling and surface irregularities are inherent to the handmade production and firing process.
