This ceramic pedestal dish, designed by Charles Cart for Cyclope Emaux Des Glacier (Annecy, France, 1960s), showcases the essence of French mid-century modernism in a sculptural, organic form. The elongated, slightly asymmetrical body features a shallow, boat-shaped bowl set atop a low, circular foot, drawing the eye with its fluid silhouette and balanced proportions. The interior is finished with a striking fat lava glaze, creating a highly textured, bubbled relief in vibrant turquoise, cobalt, and luminous blue—resulting in a dynamic, cool-toned effect. The exterior and pedestal base are coated in a uniform, high-gloss black glaze, providing a bold contrast to the expressive interior. Subtle irregularities in shape and glaze reveal the handmade nature of the piece. The condition is very good, with original finishes preserved and no visible signs of wear. This dish speaks to an era when 1960s French ceramics sought new expressive possibilities. Its vivid colors and tactile glaze evoke the spirit of creative material exploration, reminiscent of the artistic experiments of the time. The bowl might tell the story of an Alpine studio, where glaze flows spontaneously, shaping a volcanic, dynamic surface—inviting touch as much as admiration. The deep black base frames a chromatic spectacle, where light and shadow play across the relief, creating a unique visual mood. For interior arrangements, this dish can be paired with other ceramics featuring contrasting glazes—such as matte vases or minimalist metal sculptures—to highlight its expressive surface and saturated hues. It would work well on a low coffee table or console in a mid-century modern or contemporary
