Puisaye sandstone ice bucket signed Jean-Pierre Prud'homme

This pretty ceramic is part of a large utility service (which can be used for cooking, baking, etc.) that I will offer here in several batches (if you would like the whole batch, do not hesitate to contact me, for the moment only one pie mold is on sale). This ice bucket can also be diverted from its main use: pot for a few succulents, container for wipes in the bathroom, pocket for all the keys lying around in the entrance... It's up to you to invent the new life of this pretty puisaye sandstone. It is made of pyrite stoneware, with a very pretty enamel mixing soft and comforting tones: beige, caramel and chocolate, material and colors typical of the 70s. It is signed underneath jp for jean-pierre prud'homme who founded with his wife, an artisanal pottery workshop in 1971 in monnaie, working with nièvre clay (puisaye sandstone). This workshop still exists today (au grès du vent workshop), it is run by his son benoit prud'homme who took over in the 1990s-2000s and also creates very beautiful ceramics. This bucket dates from the 70s and is in perfect original condition! No cracks, no marks, probably little or no use. It measures 15.5 cm in diameter, 17.5 cm in width with the handles and 11.5 cm in height.
