Vintage stoneware cup from the Abbey of Fontgombault.

Magnificent glazed stoneware cup, an authentic piece from the pottery workshop of the Abbey of Fontgombault (Indre), showcasing traditional monastic craftsmanship. It stands out for its careful wheel work, with beautiful natural shades of ochre, brown, and sand, and a pyrite glaze typical of the region's stoneware, similar to the style of La Borne. Signed "Fontgombault" under the base, this piece with a rustic, brutalist, and timeless style presents a lovely overall appearance, with a small old chip under the base and a slight original firing defect on the belly, attesting to its unique artisanal character. Height 11 cm. Width 9 cm.
