Ceramic Trinket Dish - 1960s

Period: 1960s
Material: glazed ceramic
Style: Modernist / Mid-Century Modern
Origin: likely French or European

Dimensions: 4.5 cm x 17 cm x 13.5 cm

An elegant ceramic trinket dish from the 1960s, square in shape with a particularly graphic geometric design. It rests on five small ceramic feet.

The decoration, rendered in a palette of anthracite gray, deep blue, brown, and cream, is enlivened at one of the corners by a triangular motif composed of small stylized forms evoking botanical or abstract patterns. The contrast between the dark surface and the colorful decoration lends the piece a decidedly modernist aesthetic.

The piece features a slightly grainy enamel, characteristic of certain decorative ceramic works from the period, with an interesting interplay of textures and reliefs.

A decorative object that is both understated and graphic, perfectly representative of the taste of the 1950s and 1960s for abstract and geometric compositions. It can be used as a trinket dish or simply displayed as a small decorative object.

Condition: good overall condition, with some age-related marks and surface wear.
