Its slender silhouette, pinched spout, and thick handle give it a character that is both understated and expressive, characteristic of the Brutalist style of the era. Its glaze is truly remarkable: a mottled, almost lunar, creamy white that gradually blends into a deep gradient of blue and burgundy. The textured, pitted, and cratered surface, like volcanic rock, evokes something both mineral and alive. This beautiful piece of French handcrafted ceramic will bring a warm and slightly wild presence to a shelf or table.

The piece is vintage, dating from the 1960s. Made of stoneware, the glaze is superb and in perfect condition. The piece is signed "Vallaurisé" on the underside.
