French Three-Handled Terracotta Vase, 1960s

$1,200.00

A French terracotta vase from the 1960s, its generous, rounded body rises into a narrow neck crowned by a wide, flared rim, creating a silhouette that feels both sculptural and balanced. 

Three looping handles wrap around the neck, adding rhythm and symmetry while recalling the forms of ancient Mediterranean vessels. The deep charcoal glaze lends the piece an architectural presence, softened by subtle variations in tone that reveal the hand of the maker beneath the surface.

Bands of raised, hand-worked decoration encircle the body, introducing texture without excess. The detailing catches the light gently, giving the otherwise monochromatic finish a sense of movement and depth. Crafted in terracotta, the vase carries the warmth and character of natural clay beneath its dark exterior, celebrating the imperfections that define handmade ceramics.

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 1960s
