Verceram Ceramique Textured Modernist Tri-Section Clam Dish, 1950s

PLEASE NOTE: This item is only available exclusively for pickup at our Oakville location.

Presenting an eye-catching and highly tactile work of French mid-century Modernist design by Verceram Céramique. (c. 1940s - 1971)

The form of this piece is three evenly balanced and overlapping Ivory toned circles which creates the canvas for the highly tactile detail. Each segment contains the repeating stylised scallop detail that mimics the natural pattern and intricate detail of a clamshell. A carefully applied tone of warm and transparent Caramel brown is overlaid onto the detail to create a deeper 3D effect.

The sleek, Modernist design of this piece makes it timeless and suitable for display as a standalone piece or for functional use. The combination of the design, size, and condition makes it a particularly rare find.
