Accolay Museal Hunting Scene Stoneware Vase, 1950s

About the Item

Museal Large French Mid-Century Stoneware Vase by Accolay, 1950s. African Hunting Scene. A striking and rare French mid-century stoneware vase by Accolay, dating from the 1950s. This impressive baluster-shaped vase features an atypical design for Accolay, showcasing a dynamic African hunting scene. The decorative motif depicts a warrior with a shield and spear in pursuit of an antelope. The intricate details of the design are executed in a multi-layered glaze treatment, with the purple inner layer subtly visible under a glossy finish. The outer layers, including turquoise and gray, are finished with a finely grained glaze, while some purple areas are enhanced with golden accents, adding depth and contrast to the composition. The vase’s shape is enhanced by horizontal concentric circles, adding a textural richness to its form. Inside, the vase presents a captivating gradient, transitioning from green at the neck to light yellow at the bottom. Signed on the base, this exceptional piece measures 17.5 inches (44.5 cm) in height and 9.85 inches (25 cm) in diameter. Despite its substantial size, there is a slight sagging at the neck where it meets the body, likely due to the vase's scale (please refer to the photos for accuracy). The overall condition is very good, preserving the beauty of this piece. Accolay, founded in 1945 in Burgundy, is renowned for its bold and innovative ceramics, with a focus on vibrant glazes and playful, often humorous designs. This vase is a testament to the studio's mastery of both technique and artistry during the mid-century period.
