1970's Studio pottery ceramic box by Mithé Espelt

Creator: Mithe Espelt
Offered by: Atomic Antiques

Description
This box, with its naive and joyful appearance, embodies the singular vision of an artist who deliberately remained in the shadows. Mithé Espelt, a great 20th-century French ceramicist, chose anonymity to allow the object itself to take center stage. Behind her creations in precious hues (crackled gold, deep blue, enameled green) lies a sensitive, poetic, and resolutely feminine universe.

Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts under Pierre Soulages and Valentine Schlegel, she opened a studio in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district before retiring to Lunel. This emblematic piece bears witness to an era when the decorative object became a discreet manifesto of freedom.
