Ceramicist Michel Barbier was based in the ceramic hotspot of Vallauris, France, and worked for Gustave Reynaud's Le Mûrier—along with Jean Derval, Reynaud's brother-in-law. In his oeuvre, nature took the lead, often materializing in birds, foliage, or the pome fruits illustrated on this ceramic jar. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
