About the Item

A striking and sculptural large mid-century French ceramic pitcher vase by Charles Cart, known for his imaginative volcanic textures and vividly glazed surfaces. This dramatic form—titled “Cyclope” by the artist—features the signature crater-like dimpling and molten lava effect that defines Cart’s most sought-after works. The rich fiery red and deep brown glaze flows organically across the surface, revealing layers of color beneath the rugged, volcanic texture. The sweeping handle, elongated neck, and expressive flared mouth give this piece a strong sculptural presence, perfectly suited for collectors of mid-century ceramics, French art pottery, Brutalist décor, and modernist decorative arts. A true statement object, this Charles Cart “Cyclope” pitcher vase elevates any shelf, console, cocktail table, credenza, or countertop, adding color, texture, and undeniable visual impact. Dimensions Height: 15.25 in. Width: 6 in. Depth: 6.50 in. About Charles Cart La Poterie d’Annecy French ceramicist Charles Cart registered the brand La Poterie d’Annecy in 1961. His work is recognized for its distinctive hand-crafted finishes, revealing layers of white, red, brown, and other pigments beneath cratered, lava-like surfaces. While many pieces are unsigned, examples are known to bear period paper labels marked: “Émaux des Glaciers – fait main – ‘Cyclope’.” His ceramics—bold, highly textured, and instantly recognizable—are increasingly sought after by international collectors of mid-century French decorative arts.
