Wonderful French vase made of emerald green ceramic with a glazed finish. It reflects a clear influence of the organic design that characterizes many of the ceramic pieces of that era. The design of soft lines and fluid curves refers to an aesthetic that seeks to connect with natural shapes, moving away from rigid or symmetrical geometric patterns. Its asymmetrical structure, with those small side handles, give it a sculptural character. The ceramics of the 1970s usually leaned toward an artisanal aesthetic, with imperfect finishes that celebrated the manual intervention of the artist or potter.

The glossy enamel finish reflects light softly, creating tonal variations that make the color appear to change subtly depending on angle and lighting. This type of green glaze was very popular in ceramics in the 1970s, as it evoked both a connection with nature and an air of sophistication. The shine and texture help highlight the curves and organic shapes of the piece.
