AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This organically shaped bowl was made in the 1960s/1970s and executed in the iconic 'Fat Lava' / 'Écume de Mer' (sea foam) style, which at the time made a splash in the famous French pottery town Vallauris (attributed to the potter Luc).
The contrast between the deep black, glossy base and the thick, brightly colored turquoise/blue relief glaze gives the piece crazy texture and depth.
Thanks to its XXL size it is perfect to use as a spectacular fruit bowl, vide-poche or purely as a solitary design object on a sideboard or dining table.
Specifications:
• Style: Mid-Century Modern / Vintage design
• Origin: France (Vallauris)
• Period: 1960s / 1970s
• Size: Length approx. 65 cm (very large and rare size!)
• Color: Deep black and vibrant turquoise blue
A beautiful, characterful object for lovers of space age, brutalist or retro design.
