Large vase by Madeleine Brault for Poterie de la Colombe, 1950s

Beautiful vintage Poterie de la Colombe ceramic vase featuring the workshop’s distinctive hand-painted abstract decoration in earthy ochre, black and metallic silver tones. The expressive, freeform design and warm matte glaze make it an excellent example of post-war European studio pottery. Size: 27 cm high, 17cm diameter across the top. This versatile piece works equally well as a statement vase or as a sculptural decorative object. Its timeless modernist aesthetic pairs beautifully with mid-century, Scandinavian, wabi-sabi, brutalist and contemporary interiors.
