Vintage ceramic owl vase

At a height of 30 cm, this owl-shaped vase is an emblematic work by ceramists Y. And S. Rybczynski created during their "Annecy period" (1960s). This piece reflects their work on zoomorphic forms and mid-century ceramics. Authenticated on the base by the hand-engraved inscription "RYB ANN." Characteristic rough texture of the local stoneware worked by these ceramists. Very good condition, no cracks, no chips; this vase has retained its original character. The terracotta can be seen in places, due to the technique used by the ceramist. Some small bubbles burst during firing. Scratch under the base (original?) that did not affect the signature. Weight: 2.5 kg. The photos are part of the description. Secure packaging with double cardboard, cushioning, and bubble wrap. The grainy appearance is the result of a controlled "Fat Lava" glazing, achieved through chemical reactions during firing that cause the material to bubble, giving it this characteristic relief.
