Flamed Sandstone Wall Planter XXL – “Les Salicornes” Workshop

This exceptional wall flower holder (or half-moon shaped wall vase) stands out for its generous dimensions and plastic power. A decorative centerpiece, it testifies to the revival of stoneware art ceramics during the second half of the 20th century.

Crafted from stoneware, the piece features a flamed glaze with rich nuances of sandy beige, ochre, and warm brown, enhanced by a very dense speckling of metallic oxides. Its curved, refined, and organic shape integrates perfectly into contemporary, rustic, or Brutalist interiors.
