Description
A striking vintage French Vallauris studio pottery butter dish with matching knife, dating from approximately the 1950s–1960s.
Handmade in Vallauris, France, the dish carries the characteristic AM maker’s mark together with “Fait Main”, meaning handmade. The organic leaf-shaped form and rich flowing glaze are typical of the bold Mid-Century ceramics for which Vallauris became internationally recognised.
The dish features a beautiful glossy glaze combining turquoise, aqua, caramel, chocolate brown and amber tones. The sculpted leaf form has raised naturalistic details and an irregular flowing rim, giving every angle a distinctive handmade appearance.
Included is the original matching butter knife/spreader with a metal blade and ceramic handle decorated in the same turquoise and brown glaze.
