Description: This beautiful set of pot with the lid and small vase, made by ceramicist Marius Bessone in the 1960s, is an exceptional piece of abstract art. Its unique shape and polychrome enamel decoration immediately captivate the eye. The finely crafted abstract patterns bring an artistic and modern touch to this pot typical of Bessone's style. It is made of sea foam ceramic, a distinctive Bessone technique that gives the surface a porous and organic texture. The bright and contrasting colours – orange, yellow and green – stand out elegantly against the white background, creating a dynamic and attractive visual play. Add this rare and charming pieces by Marius Bessone to your collection for a guaranteed visual effect and a touch of French design history. You can also complete your purchases with the vase by the same artist, available in my shop.

Please see the pictures enclosed as they form part of description. Vallauris Golfe Juan is a tourist town of the French Riviera near Antibes known as the "city of 100 potters". After the war, Picasso gave a new impetus to the pottery of Vallauris by settling in the city. This draws the arrival of artists like Jean Marais and many others. Vallauris became fashionable in the years 1950-60, and developed ceramics as art, already initiated by the family Massier in the years 1920. Since, the craft continues but overall with decorative ceramics and tableware. We guarantee fast and secure shipping to your door step!!
