Liqueur glasses signed Atch Chantal and Thierry Robert, Grès du Loir.

Here are 6 adorable little glazed ceramic glasses with a simple and elegant shape, slightly flared and featuring a beautiful gray glaze speckled with black and chocolate that I would recognize from miles away, a characteristic glaze of the workshop of the ceramicist couple Chantal and Thierry Robert, named Atch "the stoneware of Loir." It is a very beautiful artisanal work both for the turning and for the glazing. These are liqueur glasses that accompanied a wonderful carafe, but I chose to offer them separately as the centerpiece, the carafe, is so pretty that it can also be displayed alone on a sideboard, a shelf... But the whole set is also available for order here. A bit forgotten in the history of ceramics, Chantal and Thierry Robert were very active and innovative as early as the 60s and in Poncé-sur-Loir from 1973 until the 90s. All these glasses bear the signature "Atch" embossed underneath, T for Thierry, C for Chantal, the h common to both names, and the A for Atelier. Some signatures are done by hand, others by stamp, which is very interesting for me, as I thought that stamped ceramics were later than those signed by hand, but here we see that both coexisted. These glasses probably date from the 60s or 70s. Four are in perfect condition, two have a small chip, quite inconspicuous. They measure about 5 cm in height and 4.5 cm in maximum diameter.
