A striking large French art pottery bowl, attributed to the Faïencerie de Pierrefonds, featuring a richly textured crystalline-style glaze applied to the interior in nuanced tones of olive green, soft white, and warm amber. The exterior presents a smooth, matte finish that contrasts beautifully with the luminous, mineral surface within.
The interior glaze displays characteristic crystalline effects—organic blooms, micro-crystals, and subtle color transitions—typical of experimental French ceramic production from the early to mid-20th century. The gently undulating rim adds a hand-shaped, studio-art quality that enhances the sculptural presence of the piece.
Signed “Pierrefonds” on the base, this bowl is offered with careful attribution. While it does not bear the heraldic shield stamp sometimes associated with the manufacture, the signature and glaze technique are consistent with works attributed to Pierrefonds.
An elegant decorative object, ideal as a centerpiece bowl or sculptural accent in a refined interior.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Minor variations and surface nuances in the glaze are inherent to handcrafted ceramics and consistent with age.
