Large Glazed Stoneware Vase With Handles – Les Potiers d'Accolay

A significant glazed stoneware vase by Les Potiers d'Accolay, an iconic manufacturer of postwar French ceramics.

This piece is distinguished by its elegant, globular body resting on a small foot, its long, flared neck accented with moldings, and its two wide side handles, in a style inspired by ancient forms reinterpreted through 1950s design.

It is coated with a superb golden-brown glaze with caramel and amber highlights, characteristic of Accolay’s productions from this period. The quality of the glaze and the generous proportions give it a strong decorative presence.

The original label “Les Potiers d’Accolay – Made in France” is still present on the neck. The underside bears an old collector’s inscription.

A very beautiful decorative piece that can hold large floral arrangements or be displayed on its own.

Condition:
Very good overall condition. A few very slight signs of wear and tiny, isolated chips in the glaze visible on the neck, which do not affect the appearance. No cracks or restoration.

Dimensions:

• Height: 45 cm
• Maximum diameter: 28 cm

Period:
Circa 1955–1965.

A large decorative piece representative of the work of the Potiers d’Accolay, sought after for the quality of its design and glaze.
