Bonbonnière in Stoneware by Marie-Laure Montoriol (Vicq-sur-Breuilh)

Magnificent stoneware sweet jar signed Marie-Laure Montoriol, made in her workshop Poteries Le Vieux Château in Vicq-sur-Breuilh (Haute-Vienne). This handcrafted piece in local stoneware is appealing for its silhouette that is both robust and elegant, its natural ochre hues punctuated by mineral projections (iron spots) resulting from high-temperature firing, and its refined contrast between the matte, textured exterior and the deep, glossy brown glazed interior. 12 cm in height, 20 cm wide.
