Large vintage speckled stoneware dish from Salins-les-Bains - 1960s-70s

Large vintage stoneware dish by Les Potiers de l’Abbaye, French production associated with Salins-les-Bains. With a beautiful diameter of 30 cm, it stands out for its deliberately simple and organic aesthetic: a slightly irregular shape, a very visible work of concentric grooves, and a speckled glaze in natural shades of beige, brown, and earth. Its clean design and substantial material give it a brutalist aesthetic, typical of French ceramics from the 1960s-70s, particularly relevant in interiors that mix vintage pieces, wood, and natural materials. Both functional and decorative, it can be used as a large serving dish, fruit platter, or simply placed on a table or shelf as a ceramic piece. Stamped "Les Potiers de l’Abbaye – France" on the reverse. Overall good vintage condition. There are a few small, isolated losses of glaze present in the centre of the dish and on the rim, visible in the photographs. They remain discreet overall.
