Single-flower vase "bottle" in glazed ceramic dated signed AR78

Very beautiful and very decorative bottle-shaped soliflore vase. Dated 1978 and signed ar (possibly by the french ceramist and sculptor alain rufas in vallauris, see photo below). In glazed terracotta in earth tones of gray green brown, we notice the beautiful artisanal work of the clay with the presence in relief of the pottery wire. Height 34 cm including 6 cm for the neck, diameter 10.5 cm at the base and 2.5 cm at the neck. This very natural, refined and chic vase, completely in the current trend, can accommodate a pretty flower or will be on its own a decorative piece of your interior.
