Vintage Hand Ornament, Brown Pink Glazed, Ceramic Dish, Vallauris c 1960s

About the Item

An ornamental hand-shaped dish by Vallauris, handcrafted in 1960s France. Formed from ceramic in the shape of a human hand, the piece features a gently curved palm designed to function as a small trinket dish. It rests on a circular base, with the hand lying flat in a naturalistic pose. Glazed in a warm brown tone, the base of the hand is accented with a trio of vibrant colours, creating a striking contrast. The combination of bold hues and the almost anatomically accurate form makes this a visually compelling example of decorative French pottery. Dimensions: 16 cm deep, 10 cm wide, 7 cm tall. A unique addition to a coffee table display or a distinctive accent within a curated vignette. In very good condition for its age and use.

Vallauris Ceramic Poker Ashtray Set, Green Glazed with Gilt, France, 1960s
By Vallauris
Located in Glasgow, GB
This rare set of four handcrafted ceramic ashtrays by Vallauris is a striking example of mid-century French design, playfully inspired by the world of poker. Each ashtray is uniquely shaped to represent a card suit—spade, club, diamond, and ace—creating a cohesive yet distinctive collection. The deep malachite-green glaze lends a rich, almost jewel-like quality to the pieces, further accentuated by the bold gold gilt borders that highlight the shape of each piece. Housed in their original faux lizard-skin presentation box, these ashtrays have been well preserved. The glaze remains glossy and deep, with no apparent signs of ash residue, suggesting they were rarely, if ever, used for their intended purpose. The gold detailing exhibits some minor surface wear, but it retains its brightness, adding to the vintage charm. Measuring approximately 8 cm in length and width, with a height of 3 cm, each piece is perfectly sized for tabletop display. While originally designed as ashtrays, their sculptural forms and opulent finish make them equally suited for use as decorative objects or small trinket dishes...
