Pyrite stoneware ceramic with thistle decoration signed by Suzanne Dauliach, 1970s.

In perfect condition (no chips or cracks) Large plate with a floral decoration of incised thistles in relief. Born from the imagination of French ceramist Suzanne Dauliach (active in the 70s-80s), this unique piece captivates with its hand-incised floral decoration, evoking a stylised thistle or an artichoke flower. The speckled glaze, oscillating between sandy beige and burnt ochre, creates a vibrant contrast with the bluish hues of the floral motif. This piece, signed on the underside, comes from her workshop "La Bartavelle" in Saint-Sorlin-d’Arves in Savoie during the 70s, where she was most productive. Marked by a very popular and rustic style, the works of Suzanne Dauliach are all unique and similar due to their speckled glaze, typical of the pyritic stoneware of that era. Flowers, particularly thistles, are often found as the artist's "signature"! This large ceramic can be used as a plate, a catch-all, or simply as a strong decorative piece. Diameter 30 cm / height 6.5 cm / weight: 1.565 kg.
