Ideal as a fruit basket, it is decorated with colorful vegetables on a textured matt white background. The interior of the cup is enamelled with yellow. In a vintage and colorful spirit, it is a pretty decorative and usual room at the same time. We love its satin white cover put in joy by colored touches.

The Elchinger bowl is in good condition: fresh colors and pretty shape, discreet traces of use. It is signed on the back, some traces of friction are visible.

23cm in diameter, 13.5cm high.


"Ceramics Elchinger" is a family business installed in Soufflenheim in Alsace in 1834. Since that time, generations have followed one another and have offered a production as varied as before-guardist. Léon Elchinger (1871-1942) will mark the spirits by productions of artistic sandstones as well as magnificent Art Nouveau potteries then Art Deco, with magnificent colors and brilliance. Less known than the Chambost, Ruelland, Jouve and Capron, Fernand Elchinger (1911-1975) will be one of the major mid-century ceramists. We are fans of its productions free forms, "handkerchief" vases and especially contrast games between deep blacks and bright yellows, red or green!
