French Art Deco Terracotta Vessel with Shell Handles, c.1930s
A striking interplay of form and surface, this hand-thrown terracotta pot embodies the decorative restraint of French Art Deco. The vessel's full-bodied silhouette is punctuated by four stylised shell-form handles — a motif echoing classical antiquity, reinterpreted through a 20th-century lens. Its blackened finish, now partially weathered, reveals warm terracotta beneath, creating a tactile palimpsest of age and use.
A sculptural anchor for interiors, or exteriors balancing ornament and austerity.
