Thrown on the wheel and finished with a wire-cut base, this piece retains a small central throwing scar, a deliberate mark of hand production typical of early French studio pottery. The base is smooth and unground, with an impressed stylised’B’ mark beneath the glaze. The form is tall and confident, with sinuous pulled loop handles creating a strong vertical rhythm. The glaze is a deep, inky cobalt blue with warm ochre breaks and granular texture, suggesting a reduction-fired, high-iron glaze characteristic of central French studio work, likely within the Puisaye or Burgundy tradition. This is not Vallauris or factory ware, but an honest, sculptural studio piece from a skilled potter working in the inter-war period. Details. Origin: France. Date: c. Minor glaze variations consistent with studio firing. A confident, decorative object with real presence. Ideal for collectors of French studio pottery or Art Deco interiors. The Poet in Me Would Say. Thrown with intent, not apology. A pot that stands upright and unafraid, holding the kiln’s heat in its blue skin. The mark beneath is small, but the voice is not. This is not a whisper from the past. It is a steady hand saying’I made this, and I meant it.
