French Vintage Ceramic Dish with Colourful Glaze, Vallauris Pottery 11.4"

A French vintage ceramic dish with a bold, colourful glaze.

The surface is divided into expressive sections of colour, with rich green, deep cobalt blue, warm ochre and earthy brown flowing into one another across a soft, creamy ground. The glaze shows beautiful variation, with subtle pooling and movement from the firing.

The dish has a wheel-thrown form, visible in the soft concentric lines on the reverse and the gently irregular profile. The rim is slightly undulating, adding to its handmade feel and giving the piece a relaxed, organic presence.

The reverse is finished in a warm brown glaze with a small hanging loop, allowing it to be displayed on the wall as well as used on a table. It works particularly well layered with other ceramics or as a standalone decorative accent.

A piece with a strong mid-century influence, bringing colour and contrast to shelves, walls or tabletop displays.
