Signed bottle vase in glazed stoneware, handmade ceramics.

Here is a charming ceramic vase with a beautiful "cloudy" glaze in an old blue colour enhanced by some brighter touches. It has lovely lines and proportions, harmonious, all in roundness and softness. It is a beautiful piece of artisanal work in turning and glazing. It has small roughnesses and little hollows; you can also feel the marks of the work on the potter's wheel, all of which confirms the handmade nature of this vase. It is signed underneath in relief by the artist who made it, either an M or a heart in a circle, but I have not been able to identify this signature at the moment. It also bears the mention "arc", perhaps the name of the workshop where it was made, especially since I have previously had two small vases with a different signature but the same ARC mention. It could date from the 1980s, but this is not certain. It is in perfect condition, with no defects to report, not even a chip. It measures 19 cm in height with a maximum diameter of about 10 cm.
