Their work is distinguished by bold shapes, sculptural lines and abstract relief decorations, as can be seen on this piece.

The satin gray, enhanced with black and orange patterns framed in beige, testifies to their mastery of contrasts and enamel. The asymmetry of the neck and the organic curves of the pitcher's body recall the influence of the modernist movement and the biomorphic shapes very fashionable at the time. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
