Turquoise green glazed stoneware pitcher – signed, France, 1970

Superb vintage pitcher in turned stoneware, glazed in a deep turquoise green speckled with tobacco shades, evoking the mineral textures of volcanic stone or dark lagoons in the fat lava style. Its hand-incised, almost vegetal decoration gives the piece a graphic and lively character. The slightly curved silhouette, the pinched spout and the generous handle reflect a craftsmanship that is as functional as it is expressive. Signed under the base, this French pitcher from the 70s can be diverted into a vase, a carafe or simply used as a strong decorative piece. A unique, vibrant work, at the crossroads of tradition and utilitarian sculpture. Condition: excellent. Dimensions: Height: 17 cm / 6.7 in. Diameter: 11 cm / 4.3 in. Weight: 0.540 kg / 1.19 lbs.
