In the wind of modernity that animates the 1950s and 60s, potters and ceramists are not outdone! They invent and reinvent the forms of terracotta objects, play on the composition of enamels to obtain new colors or textures. The Lorraine earthenware of Saint Clément is linked to that of Lunéville. In Lunéville is produced of fine, often usual and classic earthenware, services and patterns. Meanwhile, Saint Clément invents shapes and colors. In the second half of the 20th century, Jacques Roux and Blanche Lettale will explore the stylistic possibilities of earthenware. In a stripped and innovative style, the latter will offer vases with organic forms, with often monochrome or two -color enamels. This piece has an attribution mark,
