"Corolle" vase Elchinger

Elchinger stamped vase in faience, shaped like a corolla, with a black glaze on the outside and yellow on the inside. 1960s. Small crack inside (see close-up photo, the price takes this into account). Elchinger Ceramics is a family business founded by Wendelin Elchinger (1809-1895) in 1834 in Soufflenheim (Alsace). The production was initially dedicated to culinary pottery. Fernand Elchinger (1911-1975) developed and modernised the factory. Driven by the enthusiasm for Vallauris ceramics, the Alsatian manufacturer gained significant recognition with the production of vases and jugs in streamlined shapes during the 1950s. After eight generations, the family business permanently ceased operations in June 2016. Height 22cm, diameter 23cm.
