About the Item
Ceramic Shell Bowl by Pol Chambost, France, circa 1950.
Elegant and sculptural ceramic shell bowl designed by Pol Chambost, France, circa 1950. This refined mid-century modern piece exemplifies Chambost’s signature balance between organic form and modernist simplicity. The shell-shaped silhouette features softly undulating contours and a harmonious sense of proportion, making it both a functional object and a decorative work of art.
The bowl is incised under the base “1025 Poterie Pol Chambost France”, confirming its authenticity (see photo). A beautiful example of postwar French ceramic design, ideal for collectors of modern ceramics, French mid-century design, or sculptural tableware.

About Pol Chambost:
Pol Chambost (1906–1983) was one of the most influential French ceramicists of the mid-20th century. Trained as a sculptor, he founded Poterie Pol Chambost in Paris in the late 1930s and became a central figure in the postwar revival of French ceramics. Chambost is celebrated for his innovative forms inspired by nature—shells, plants, and biomorphic shapes—combined with clean modernist lines. His work was widely exhibited and collected, and today his ceramics are recognized as iconic examples of French mid-century modern design, highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
