A sculptural piece in the spirit of 1950s French studio ceramics, with a strong silhouette from every side. Stamped underneath "Vallauris Lunetta France". Dimensions: H 23 cm, max width 20.5 cm. Condition: good vintage condition. Wear to the unglazed foot ring consistent with age, see photo of the base.
