Pair of French Black + Turquoise Ceramic Bowl by Accolay, 1960s
A pair of French ceramic bowls by Accolay from the 1960s, where expressive form and bold glazing reflect the experimental spirit of French pottery.
Thrown in black stoneware, each bowl is finished with a vivid turquoise glaze that flows across the interior and spills over the irregular rim. The contrast between the deep matte body and the luminous glaze creates a sense of depth, while the organic edge introduces movement and individuality to each piece. Subtle variations in texture and colour speak to their handmade origins, ensuring no two are exactly alike.
Whether used as serving bowls, catchalls, or displayed as decorative objects, they bring a quiet graphic presence to a dining table, console, or open shelf.
Founded in 1945 in Burgundy, Accolay became known for expressive ceramic forms and experimental glazes that blurred the line between craft and sculpture.
