This handmade and glazed ceramic platter in the shape of a stingray was created by Ceramique Ricard in Vallauris, France, capturing the essence of post-war French modernism. Its compact, harmonious proportions (20 × 18 cm, height 6 cm) are accentuated by a dynamic interplay of color: a warm, creamy beige glaze serves as the base, animated by expressive, irregular dark green and black brushstrokes that evoke the organic patterns found in nature. The glossy, smooth surface enhances sculptural details such as raised eyes, gently flared fins, and a looped tail that functions as a handle. The underside bears a signature, confirming its authenticity as a genuine Vallauris piece. The platter is in very good vintage condition, with only minimal, age-appropriate signs of use. This platter echoes the joyful, experimental spirit of 1950s France—a time when craft and art merged in everyday objects. Its fluid, biomorphic lines recall the underwater world, while the lustrous glaze reflects light like the tranquil surface of the Mediterranean. One can almost sense the artist’s hands shaping the clay in a sunlit atelier, and the era’s fascination with both nature and expressive form. The stingray-shaped platter can serve as a striking centerpiece on a dining table or in the living room, fitting equally well in mid-century modern interiors and eclectic collector’s spaces. It may be paired with other Vallauris ceramics, minimalist white porcelain, or raw wood to underscore its organic character. Displayed on a console or shelf among softly contoured glass vases, its flowing form and contrasting colors are sure to draw the eye.
