White glazed stoneware vase decorated with raised ribbons.

Historical context and design Made of white glazed stoneware, this French sculptural vase probably dates from the 1960s. It is part of a tradition of modernist artistic ceramics, where function is given way to form. The side handles, shaped into regular loops, bring an almost textile dimension, while the crumpled neck reinforces its organic character. General condition Presents some discreet chips, notably on the neck, which do not detract from its aesthetic strength. These marks of time underline its materiality and authenticity. Styling and placement advice Strong piece to display alone like a sculpture. Ideal on a minimalist console, a fireplace or a plinth. To be combined with natural materials (stone, light wood, linen) or strong contrasts (metal, matte black).
