The ceramic surface displays the vivid textures and earthy tones typical of Vallauris work from the 1950s, mounted on a hand-forged wrought iron base with elegantly curved legs.

The piece embodies the artistic spirit of the French Riviera, where functional furniture was often crafted as sculptural objects. It serves beautifully as a side table, plant stand, or decorative accent piece.

There are a few light surface scratches on the ceramic top, consistent with age and use, which do not detract from the overall charm and character of the piece.

In very good vintage condition, structurally sound and visually striking — a rare and collectible example of Vallauris ceramic design. See less
