Vintage ceramic vase in French signed crystal glaze 19 cm

Elegant studio ceramic vase from France, dating from the Mid-Century period, approximately 1950–1970, notable for its spectacular crystallised glaze and sculptural bottle shape. The vase features a rounded body extended by a long, slender neck, finished with a slightly flared opening. The base in ochre and golden tones contrasts with significant smoky grey, silver, and anthracite crystallisations. The radiating patterns, reminiscent of feathers or stars, add depth and character to the surface. Made in France from glazed ceramic, this piece particularly illustrates the decorative qualities of the crystallised glaze technique, where crystalline formations develop during controlled firing and cooling. The base bears a hand-made signature or mark. Its balanced proportions, chromatic contrasts, and highly expressive glazing make it a fine example of 20th-century French art ceramics, particularly suited for a vintage ceramics collection or a Mid-Century Modern interior. Condition. The vase is in excellent overall condition and retains all the decorative character of its glazing. No other specific defects have been reported.
