Large ceramic jug – attributed to the potters of Accolay

Probably from the famous community of Potters of Accolay, this vase perfectly illustrates the inventiveness of this French manufacture, which profoundly marked the revival of post-war ceramics. Founded in Burgundy in 1945 by former students of Alexandre Kostanda, the workshop distinguished itself with free forms, bold glazes, and a remarkably diverse production. This model is appealing due to its balanced silhouette, vibrant glaze, and sculptural presence. Both decorative and timeless, it fits well in both modernist and contemporary interiors. An emblematic piece of French ceramic design from the 1950s-1960s, sought after by collectors of ceramics and 20th-century furniture.
