ABOUT PRODUCTID 32128
This bowl, designed by Charles Cart for Cyclope Emaux Des Glacier in the French Alps, is a hand-crafted piece from the 1960s. It features a robust ceramic construction and a dynamic fat lava glaze in saturated blues—from deep cobalt to turquoise—accented by black and dark grey. The surface is highly textured, with pronounced bubbles, crater-like formations, and an organic, undulating rim that reflect the biomorphic and brutalist influences of mid-century modern design. The interior and edge are tactile and rough, while the base is smoother, displaying subtle glaze variations. The piece is in very good condition, with no visible cracks or chips—only minor, age-appropriate signs of use. This bowl resonates with the artistic avant-garde spirit of French mid-century ceramics: the dynamic glaze and irregular form evoke a fascination with the forces of nature and the expressive possibilities of matter. The piece seems to capture volcanic energy—its bubbles, craters, and deep blue hues narrate a story of experimentation, boldness, and artisanal skill. Each imperfection underscores its authenticity; no two bowls are ever truly alike, making each one a unique chapter in the narrative of art. The bowl can be presented in a modern living room on a minimalist wooden table or console, allowing its glaze to capture and reflect light as a focal point. It pairs well with other mid-century modern pieces, particularly sculptural ceramics or glass. Consider setting it against a neutral background or raw concrete texture to accentuate its expressive character; it also works as a singular accent in an eclectic collector’s interior. The listed price refers to a single piece.
