Round plateau signed Atch for Chantal and Thierry Robert, Grès du Loir.

Here is a very nice enamelled stoneware tray with pretty lines, simple and elegant, with just a small rim. And this wonderful grey glaze speckled with brown, characteristic of the workshop of the ceramicist couple Chantal and Thierry Robert, named Atch "the stoneware of Loir." It is a very beautiful artisanal work. Somewhat forgotten in the history of ceramics, they were very active and innovative since the 60s and in Poncé-sur-Loir from 1973 until the 90s. This tray has the signature "Atch" stamped in relief in the material, T for Thierry, C for Chantal, and the h common to both names, all in the capital A of Atelier. It probably dates from the 70s. It is in perfect condition, neither cracked nor chipped, not even a nick. It measures 28.5 cm in diameter and about 2 cm in height at the rim.
