About the Item
Striking rectangular ceramic catchall tray by Olivier Pettit (1918–1979), a French ceramist and sculptor trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Active from the 1950s onward, Pettit developed a distinctive body of work characterized by graphic reliefs, architectural volumes, and textured glazes, contributing to the postwar revival of French studio ceramics.
This piece, signed on the underside, is a fine example of his modernist and sculptural approach.
Standing on four small feet, the tray features a raw, earthy glaze in ochre and brown tones, enriched with a repeating geometric relief pattern. A decorative object with strong presence — ideal for a console, desk, or shelf display.
Evoking the spirit of major French ceramists of the mid-century period, this piece resonates with the work of Roger Capron, Jean Derval, and Georges Jouve, through its graphic language and sculptural character.
