This exceptional mid-century ceramic vase is a remarkable original by the French ceramic master Charles Cart (Southern France / Vallauris period), crafted in the 1960s/1970s. This sculptural collector's item captivates with its expressive, brutalist design: a deep black, highly textured crater glaze (Fat Lava / Émail volcanique) contrasts strikingly with smooth, intensely luminous color gradients in cobalt blue, vibrant turquoise, and soft beige tones. A truly unique feature of this rare vase is its original manufacturer's paper label on the underside, which provides unambiguous proof of its authentic provenance. Thanks to its phenomenal, pristine condition, this vase is a museum-quality key piece for the international high-end design market.
