Sugar bowl candy jar signed Chantal and Thierry Robert Atch Grès du Loir

Adorable little covered ceramic pot with a very beautiful speckled glaze in shades of gray, chocolate and black and a pretty rounded shape. It is a very beautiful craftsmanship both in terms of throwing and glazing. It is the work of Chantal and Thierry Robert who worked in their workshop "Les grès du Loir" in Poncé sur Loire from 1973. Their signature or monogram has evolved over time, to finally sign Atch with a stamp (for Atelier de Thierry et Chantal). This signature is made by hand and does not yet include the A of Atch, but just the C of Chantal and the T of Thierry and the h common to both first names. It is therefore probably a ceramic that dates from shortly after they moved in together in the 70s. It is in very good condition, just two tiny chips on the top edge of the pot and a small chip under the base. The pot measures 10.5 cm in maximum diameter with a height of 5.5 cm, and a height of 9 cm with the lid.
