An exceptional collection of beautifully crafted ceramics made by Atelier Bernard in Apt, chosen by Patricia Wells for her home in Provence. The two small tureens are decorated with olive branch handles. Additionally, by the same potter is an elegant pitcher whose handle is decorated with grapes. All are glazed in cheerful yellow, signed and dated 1995. Note, the large tureen is missing a leaf - refer to photos.
Patricia took her cooking classes to the atelier where the potters would kindly give demonstrations. Though Atelier Bernard no longer exists, certain pieces like these live on as do their fond memories. In excellent condition as Patricia found them too precious to use and chose to display them as happy decorations instead.
