About the Item
This minimalist ceramic dish or trinket holder was crafted by Alexandre Kostanda in Vallauris during the 1950s. Known for his refined, organic forms and textured finishes, Kostanda’s work embodies the post-war modernist aesthetic. The dish features a soft, matte white glaze with subtle speckles and a natural patina, emphasizing the handmade craftsmanship. The rounded form, with small side handles, reflects both utility and elegance. Signed underneath, it affirms its authenticity and connection to the Vallauris pottery movement.
Alexandre Kostanda (1921–2007) was a French ceramicist renowned for his modernist designs, often blending functionality with sculptural beauty. His work remains sought after by collectors for its timeless appeal.
This piece is a fine example of Kostanda’s mastery, perfect for showcasing mid-century ceramics or serving as a stylish decorative object.

Very nice ceramic vase in the style of Jean Besnard, Vallauris France circa 1940
By Jean Besnard
Located in NICE, FR
This ceramic vase, in the style of Jean Besnard, showcases an elegant hourglass silhouette with a textured, hand-incised surface.
