Glazed Stoneware Bowl – France, circa 1970

Glazed stoneware bowl, made in France around 1970.

The piece has a round, slightly flared shape, emphasized by a thick rim and a slight indentation forming a decorative line around the upper part. The surface is covered with a glaze in shades of brown, beige, and olive green, punctuated by numerous speckled effects and firing variations.

The fully glazed interior reveals the concentric traces of turning, while the underside shows the bare stoneware and the potter's wheel work. The irregular and nuanced glaze gives this piece all the richness characteristic of artisanal stoneware productions of this period.
