Glazed ceramic plate Jean Lurçat 1950

Jean Lurçat plate in glazed terracotta. Complex glaze with brown and caramel hues (tortoiseshell effect). The white reserve decoration features a smiling sun / tousled face hanging from a leafy branch. Back / Signature: Marked drawing, J. Lurçat, Sant. Vicens, V N 2. It is a very beautiful plate with autumnal and earthy tones. The nuanced brown glaze creates a deep setting to highlight the milky white motif of a stylised smiling face/sun. A unique piece, full of charm and poetry, in excellent condition.
