Plate / catch-all in white chamotte stoneware & glazed, workshop piece signed 1970

Unique workshop piece in chamotte white stoneware. Very thick glaze, with bubbling effects and layered decorations in shades of grey, aubergine, khaki, and pink. Abstract design with polychrome glazes. A true decorative object as well as a utilitarian piece. Signature on the front: monogram engraved in the raw glaze, before firing. When viewed from different angles, one can distinguish a D C if read one way, and U A if the dish is turned over. It also evokes the independent workshops of the 1970s, although it is not possible to attribute the piece to a specific artist based solely on this monogram. In very good condition, no chips or cracks. Heavy in hand. Dimensions: 27 X 24 X H4cm.
