Ceramic bowl with handle – French design by Émile Masson, 1960s

This ceramic handled bowl signed Émile Masson accurately embodies the modernist aesthetic of French ceramics from the 1960s. Its compact and balanced shape, combined with a tubular handle and a discreet spout, makes it a piece that is both beautiful and functional. The exterior decoration, rhythmically patterned with a geometric checkerboard design, plays with subtle shades of grey and brown, while the glazed interior, in a soft and luminous bluish grey, offers an elegant contrast. The meticulous finish and the handwritten signature under the base attest to true craftsmanship. A refined object, ideal as a bowl, milk jug, or decorative piece, that will naturally find its place in a contemporary or vintage interior.
