French Ceramic Shell Plate, 1960s

$180.00

A French ceramic shell plate from the 1960s, where organic form and rich colour transform a simple household object into something quietly sculptural.

Modelled after a scallop shell, the radiating fluted surface draws the eye inward, while the deep emerald green glaze accentuates every contour, catching light across the ridges and pooling softly within the center. Whether displayed on a console, used as a serving piece, or placed as a standalone accent, it introduces texture and colour without overwhelming its surroundings.

DIMENSIONS: 8"W x 8.25"D x 1"H

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 1960s

MATERIALS: Ceramic

CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition, with a natural patina present, consistent with age and use.
