Vintage French Decorative Ceramic Platter by Gustave Reynaud for Le Mùrier (circa 1960s)

Vintage French decorative ceramic platter by Le Mûrier (circa 1960s). A classic platter with raised edges makes for a delightfully rustic bit of Provence. A French coq motif is hand painted at the centre in one of Le Mûrier's trademark colours and decoration schemes. The rooster is a rich cobalt blue with subtly hued green and slightly faded mulberry red-coloured details. In very good overall condition. Maker's mark on underside. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video will be provided. 

About the Artist: Gustave Reynaud (1915-1972) founded the pottery, Le Mûrier (Mulberry Tree), in Vallauris, France in 1955. He produced earthenware designed in conjunction with his well known brother-in-law, Jean Derval, as well as vases, wall plaques and anthropomorphic jugs. He also worked with the potter JF Descombes and decorator Michel Barbier in their well known village. After Reynaud's death in 1972 his wife ran the pottery until 1984.
