The body is nicely worked, the ceramic is bright, in a bright canary yellow, decorated with green and black touches. It comes from the earthenware factory "Saint Clément" of Lunéville in Lorraine, whose production of the middle of the 20th century is as surprising in the audacity of the forms as in the use of bright and contrasted colors.

The ceramic is in very good condition. It is signed in hollow under the base. The broc is a usual piece, it can be used or be a decorative piece.

from 10 to 23cm in diameter and 23cm in height.


In the wind of modernity that animates the 50s and 60s, potters and ceramists are not left behind! They invented and reinvented the shapes of terracotta objects, playing with the composition of enamels to obtain new colors or textures. The Lorraine faience factory in Saint Clément is linked to the one in Lunéville. In Lunéville is produced fine earthenware, often usual and classic, services and plates with patterns. During this time, Saint Clément invented shapes and colors. In the second half of the 20th century, Jacques Roux and Blanche Lettale explored the stylistic possibilities of earthenware. In a stripped and innovative style, the latter will propose vases with organic forms, with enamels often monochrome or two-tone. This piece has an attribution mark,
