French Ceramic Decorative Platter by the Frères Cloutier (circa 1970s)

French ceramic decorative platter by the Frères Cloutier (circa 1970s). A charming decorative platter created in the trademark hues of the brothers Cloutier; as such, it is immediately identifiable as their work. Painted at the centre of the platter is a delightful bouquet of flowers situated in a wide blue jug with handle. Perhaps the image was inspired by Van Gogh's floral paintings? With its Southern French charm, it may be placed anywhere in your home. It is in very good overall condition - there are no chips or restorations. Maker's mark on the underside. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video can be provided.

About the Designers: Jean and Robert Cloutier are called the twin brothers of ceramics. After having apprenticed for Lafourcade, Rivière, Georges Jouve and Pol Chambost, the brothers created their own workshop located in Paris in 1955. They produced both functional and dreamlike decorative objects. After Paris and a brief interlude in the town of Yonne, France, the Cloutiers put down roots in the Languedoc region of southern France. Forever refining their ceramic processes, they are considered to have perfectly mastered their profession and are held in the highest esteem.
