Magnificent Contemporary Cream Stoneware Round Vase – Signed Pierre Bernie

Superb contemporary round vase in glazed stoneware, an authentic artisan creation by the French ceramist Pierre Bernier (based in Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie). This piece stands out with a striking and elegant contrast: a generously spherical body covered in a delicately speckled cream-white glaze with stunning textured drip effects, topped with a high, narrow neck with a raw texture, finely ribbed in brown-black tones. The underside of the vase features the artist's official signature incised into the raw clay (a stylised monogram composed of a circle and curved lines, listed in art ceramic guides), guaranteeing its authenticity. Exact dimensions: • Height: 16.5 cm • Width (at the widest / maximum diameter): 10 cm • Base diameter: 7 cm • Neck diameter: 2.5 cm Characteristics: • Style: Contemporary, studio design, brutalist / Wabi-Sabi spirit. • Materials: Glazed stoneware and textured raw clay. • Condition: In perfect condition, no chips or cracks. Note to collectors: A second similar model in deep blue tones with crystallisation effects is also available for sale (see photos). Ideal for forming a harmonious pair.
