Her work combines simple forms and stylized decorations, often floral, in a soft palette typical of the post-war period. Her pieces regularly appear on the market, where we find in particular "Chardon" models. 1950s ceramic piece, stylized thistle decoration (plates, vases and derivatives listed), modern lines and nuanced glaze that easily integrate into a mid-century or contemporary atmosphere. The pattern, graphic without being busy, makes it an easy-to-place decorative accent, sought after for its connection with the Vallauris school and Cocteau's entourage. Ideal solo or in a wall/shelf composition. This piece has an attribution mark,
