HN022 | Vallauris Ceramic Pot, c. 1960
Description
This ceramic pot, with its organic shape and fusion of earthy tones, is a piece that exudes the authenticity and warmth of southern France. Originating from Vallauris, the legendary ceramics town on the Côte d'Azur, this container is distinguished by its two-tone glaze: a grayish-brown stoneware body, with marks that suggest the passage of time or the intensity of the kiln, and an inner rim and the top of the lid in a vibrant burnt orange. This combination gives the piece a rustic yet sophisticated character, typical of the region's artisanal production. Perfect for storing secrets, spices, or simply as a decorative element that adds depth and history to any space. Its soft-set lid invites you to explore its interior.
