Set of 3 octagonal glazed earthenware plates with pearls, Biot 1950.

Exceptional octagonal plates in glazed earthenware with a neo-classical pearl decoration, Vallauris 1950. Modernist, extra flat, they wonderfully blend the Directoire style with the antique, alongside the Picasso era in Vallauris, the delicacy of the pearls with the solidity of the glazed earthenware in a black lustre. Sublime around a drink before sitting down to dinner. These beloved plates are 70 years old, with fine wear and a long-ago repaired shine on the back. 16.5cm x 16.5cm. Irresistible.
