The collaboration between Charles Cart and the Le Cyclope factory began in the 1950s-1960s, where Charles Cart, a ceramicist based in Annecy, created iconic works under the name "Émaux des Glaciers." Cart is particularly known for his volcanic glazing technique, or "fat lava, " which mimics the textures of glaciers, offering crater-like effects and deep colours in turquoise, black, and white. This unique style attracted attention for its bold shapes and icy textures, marking the era of French handcrafted pieces.
