1960s Vallauris French Blue Ceramic Lidded Garlic Keeper Pot with Fat Lava Ecume de Mer Sea Foam Glaze in Turquoise and White
1960s Vallauris French Blue Ceramic Lidded Garlic Keeper Pot with Fat Lava Ecume de Mer Sea Foam Glaze in Turquoise and White
1960s Vallauris French Blue Pottery Garlic Keeper Pot decorated in the Ecume de Mer glazing style designed to give a Sea Foam / fat lava effect.
Gorgeous little 4.5" tall, 5.5" wide ceramic pot for garlic storage, fully glazed inside and out in glossy sea blue. Distinctive turquoise and white textured foamy glaze has been applied over the blue base glaze of the exterior to give it its unique style. The lid has a round knob handle, and there are round bobble handles each side of the pot. Eight holes in the lid keep air circulating, while the pot keeps your garlic cool, fresh and in the dark.
Beautiful, interesting AND useful, this would be a fantastic addition to any blue & white or vintage-themed kitchen, and would make a lovely housewarming or wedding gift.
Photographs show pot from every angle. It is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, repairs or crazing. Original gold sticker to lid with the words "Ceramique de Vallauris". No visible backstamp.
Vallauris is an area in south western France that became a major artistic centre of great repute in the 1950s, with many famous artists and ceramicists creating iconic work there, including Picasso. I have a matching small jug / pitcher in a similar style also for sale in my Etsy shop.
