Salins glazed stoneware ewer, model 654, 1960s

A superb glazed stoneware ewer, signed Salins, model 654, with a generous and perfectly balanced silhouette. This piece immediately captivates with its cloudy glaze, oscillating between deep blue, mineral gray, and sandy hues, with delicate natural drips that enliven the surface. Its form is both sculptural and organic: a rounded body, a slightly flared neck, a wide and comfortable handle, and a tubular spout that underscores its character as a utilitarian piece that has now become purely decorative. The overall effect is a strong, almost architectural presence, while maintaining a great visual softness. A mineral and cloudy presence in the spirit of great French decorative stoneware, with a distinctly Salins signature. Stamped Salins-les-Bains (Jura), one of the great French manufacturers of the 20th century, renowned for the quality of its stoneware and its research into glazes with a modern aesthetic. The shape number 654 under the base allows for precise identification of the model. Beautiful vintage condition, no flaws, cracks, or chips. The glaze is perfectly preserved, with slight natural variations inherent to this type of firing, which add to the piece's charm. Height 23 cm, diameter at the neck 9 cm, base diameter 11 cm, total width from handle to spout 18 cm A striking piece for a chic wabi-sabi decor, at the crossroads of 70s modernism and contemporary minimalist aesthetics.
