ABOUT PRODUCTID 6136
This ceramic platter from Vallauris, France, exemplifies the craftsmanship of the 1960s, where inspiration from nature seamlessly fused with modernist design. Hand-painted and glazed, it features a warm honey-beige base adorned with pronounced, swirling woodgrain patterns in various shades of brown, closely mimicking natural wood. Its organic, irregular form with softly undulating, asymmetrical edges captures the biomorphic lines and natural material fascination characteristic of the era. The platter boasts a lustrous, polished finish and measures 23 × 14 cm with a height of 5 cm. There are no visible signs of damage or restoration—preserved in very good vintage condition. This piece resonates with the voice of the French Riviera in the 1960s, when Vallauris was a haven for ceramic experimentation and the joy of everyday objects. The soft lines and wood-like motif pay homage to nature, while the glossy surface reflects light, evoking the tranquility and refined simplicity of Mediterranean interiors. The platter’s shape speaks to the freedom with which designers of the period combined artisanal tradition with a modern approach to functional details. The platter could be displayed on a low sideboard in the living room, allowing its organic shape to stand out against light wood or muted textiles. It may be paired with other objects featuring natural textures—such as a linen runner, a simple ceramic vase, or a glass carafe—to emphasize its biomorphic and mid-century modern character. It would also work well as a focal point on a dining table or within a collection of other 1960s ceramics, where its pattern and color would bring out the authentic spirit of the era. The platter is made of glazed ceramic with a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the vibrancy of the pattern and the shine of the glaze. It weighs approximately 1 kg.
