Vintage salad bowl Vallauris thistle decor - Atelier Le Brescon

Character piece in ceramic from Vallauris, this large salad bowl (or presentation bowl) is an emblematic production of the Le Brescon workshop in Vallauris. It features the famous "Aux Chardons" decoration, hand-painted with great graphic skill. The shades of cobalt blue and fir green contrast beautifully with the characteristic white glaze of the Mid-Century period in Vallauris. TECHNICAL DETAILS: Origin: Vallauris, France. Signature: "Le Brescon Vallauris" marked under the base. Dimensions: Diameter 29 cm, Height 10 cm. Style: 1950s Design, Organic, Chic Brutalist. CONDITION: The object has traversed the decades with authenticity. It shows some signs of use that testify to its history: 3 small chips on the scalloped rim. And 2 micro-chips on the foot. Condition: Antique object. The chips have been discreetly camouflaged using art pencils to enhance the overall aesthetic. The result is very clean and subtle. The interior glaze remains bright and sound. A collectible piece that will bring a retro-elegant and sunny touch to your interior.
