Each vase has its own distinct character: one is adorned with a black glaze that gently drips from the neck onto the orange body, the second features more pronounced black drips, and the third boasts a white relief topped with beautiful cobalt blue drips. This interplay of glazes and drips recalls the folk and primitive style of 1970s handcrafted pottery, a generous and unpretentious aesthetic that remains as appealing as ever.

The vases are antique and in good condition. Discreet chips in the glaze are visible at the necks, as seen in the photos. The pieces are luminous and glossy, and are signed on the base. The price is for all three.

11 to 12cm in diameter, 8-9-10cm in height. See less
