Each piece is decorated with a band of raised organic relief that wraps around the body.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAtelier-A is based in Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie, a small village in the Gard near Uzès with a ceramic tradition stretching back to the Middle Ages, when abundant local clay deposits and wood-fired kilns supplied the region with everyday earthenware. By the 17th century, the village counted dozens of working potters. Though the industry declined through the 20th century, a revival began in the 1980s, and today the village is home to a thriving community of contemporary ceramicists, anchored by the Maison de la Poterie and an annual international ceramics festival. Agnès and Alex are among its most respected artists.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAt Chanteduc, these pieces sit naturally on a kitchen shelf or a laid table — the larger bowl generous enough for fruit or olives, the smaller for salt or a handful of figs, the vase holding a single stem from the garden.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight wear.\u003cbr\u003eMedium pot measures 2¼\" high x 3½\" diameter \u003cbr\u003eMedium pot measures 6cm high x 9cm diameter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54310839353682,"sku":"25489","price":485.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC01445_e81ee1cd-3d1d-48c2-89e4-04f519a50930.jpg?v=1787230806","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/three-pieces-of-handmade-porcelain-by-atelier-a-france","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
