A vintage ceramic bowl with a beautifully expressive glaze in deep blue and striking turquoise tones over a soft cream ground.
Fluid brushstrokes sweep across the surface of the interior and blend gently at the edges. The turquoise glaze is particularly vibrant, catching the light and contrasting softly with the warmer neutral base. Fine crazing throughout adds texture and depth.
Thrown by hand, the bowl has a simple, balanced form with subtle ribbing to the exterior and a small foot. The glaze has been applied freely, creating a one-of-a-kind finish.
Likely originating from Vallauris, a centre of mid-20th century French ceramics known for its more artistic and decorative approach, this piece sits comfortably between functional pottery and studio work.
A versatile decorative piece, it works well as a centrepiece on a table, placed on open shelving, or layered with other antique and vintage ceramics. It can also be used to display fruit or seasonal objects.
