Wavy turquoise glazed earthenware plate 1960 Provence

Tray. Plateau. Centrepiece. Catch-all. Decorative piece. But all of this at once... A wonderful work by a potter in white clay, with a shiny and fresh glaze made for contrasts. Loves noble materials summer and winter, the teak it warms, the old linen it brightens, the raw wood it poetises, the steel it feminises. Spectacular and simple on a coffee table, a sideboard, a bedside table. Signed Aigues Mortes in the Gard. A small chip on the reverse. Length 35cm. Width 15cm. Height at handles 6cm. When you know, you know.
