The exterior remains smooth and understated, allowing the luminous interior surface to take center stage.

The glaze exhibits classic crystalline characteristics—organic blooms, mineral inclusions, and subtle tonal movement—creating depth and variation under changing light. The crystalline glaze technique and signature style suggest early 20th-century French art pottery production. The slightly undulating rim lends the piece a sculptural, hand-crafted presence appreciated by collectors of studio and decorative ceramics.

Signed “Pierrefonds” on the base. While the bowl does not display the heraldic shield stamp sometimes found on Pierrefonds pieces, the signature and glaze technique are consistent with works attributed to the manufacture. It is therefore offered with careful attribution.

A refined decorative object well suited for use as a centerpiece bowl or purely as a sculptural accent.

Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Minor variations and surface nuances in the glaze are inherent to handcrafted ceramics and consistent with age.

Approx. dimensions: Diameter: 10.63 in (27 cm); height: 6.89 in (17.5 cm)
Approx. weight: 4.32 lb (1.96 kg)
