Large red stoneware soliflore bottle by Gres de la Venelle, dated 1984

Large glazed stoneware soliflore bottle by the Gres de la Venelle workshop, France, 1984. The highly slender silhouette features a tall cylindrical body, subtly flared toward the base, rising to rounded shoulders and a short narrow neck with a gently flared rim. The exterior is covered in a finely speckled deep red glaze, contrasting with the rich blue-glazed interior. A restrained, sculptural and particularly elegant piece. Signed “Gres de la Venelle” and dated “84” underneath the base. Excellent original condition.

• Dimensions: H 33 x W 12 cm.
