Wrought Iron Coffee Table with Ceramic Tile Top Decorated with Pich

This coffee table features a rectangular top made of matte black glazed ceramic tiles, painted with a frieze of five stylized pitchers and amphorae in polychrome glazes — bright orange, golden yellow, green — outlined with an incised line. The decoration bears a painted signature in the lower right corner. The black lacquered wrought iron base combines curved arc legs ending in scrolls, joined by a twisted stretcher. This combination of black wrought iron and brightly colored glazed ceramics is emblematic of French decorative arts from the 1950s, a time when ceramic workshops — influenced by Vallauris — collaborated with blacksmiths to produce cheerful and sturdy coffee tables, highly sought after today. Condition report: Overall good condition. Fresh and shiny glazes, tiles without missing pieces, sound structure. A charming coffee table for a living room, a veranda, or a vacation home.
