Studio ceramic pitcher with sprayed glazes, circa 1960-70. Turned pitcher with a generous silhouette, featuring a remarkable speckled glazing with pictorial accents. On a ferruginous brown background, projections of yellow, green, and black glazes overlap, creating a vibrant surface rich in variations of texture and firing. This free treatment of the surface aligns with the aesthetic of European studio ceramics from the 1950s-70s. The ample belly, pinched spout, and modeled handle enhance the artisanal and sculptural character of the piece. The belly is highlighted by a discreet circular groove shaped on the wheel, a detail that emphasizes the silhouette's construction and reflects the potter's gesture. Work is unsigned and unattributed. In very good condition, Note a slight loss of glaze at the edge of the spout and under the handle, visible in the photographs. These discreet signs of time do not affect the solidity or decorative character of the piece. The irregularities and variations in the glaze are inherent to the artisanal work and firing. H. 21.5 cm
