Vintage ceramic coupe plate "fat lava" from the Vallauris workshop, 1960s-70s.

A "fat lava" ceramic piece from the Vallauris workshops with a completely free, almost sculptural shape, featuring a notch that breaks the symmetry. The exterior and a large part of the surface are covered in a matte, textured glaze resembling pumice stone, in deep grey-green tones, while a flow of glossy red, orange, and yellow glaze runs through the centre like a vein of lava. The matte/glossy, dark/incandescent contrast is striking. Element from the 1960s-1970s. No visible mark or signature (like many pieces from this period, but the gesture, style, and quality of the decoration leave no doubt about its authenticity and era.) Can be displayed as a piece of art on a piece of furniture, used as a catch-all, dish, fruit bowl, or centrepiece: it attracts the eye from all angles. **Characteristics** Style: vintage "fat lava" ceramic, Vallauris workshop spirit. Era: 1960s-1970s. Decoration: textured matte grey-green glaze, glossy red/orange/yellow flow. Dimensions: approx. 30 cm at its longest point. Brand: Vallauris. Condition: Entire piece, no chips. Unique piece, carefully delivered with reinforced packaging (fragile ceramic).
