A rare and large modernist lamp in red ceramic with a geometric design around the rim. Accolay, Burgundy. 1960s. Signed in relief under the base: "Accolay". The term "Accolay pottery" refers to the production of a community of potters who settled on October 26, 1945, in the village of Accolay, in the Yonne department of Burgundy. This center of artisanal production was created by four former students of Alexandre Kostanda. Active from 1945 to 1983, their pottery is distinguished by its great technical inventiveness and extremely prolific output. The pieces are characterized by varied and decorative shapes and vibrant colors. The pottery community capitalized on the proximity of the N6 highway by using service stations as permanent exhibition spaces along the route taken by Parisian tourists. Their exhibition buildings, inspired by the structures of the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit, became a must-see for holidaymakers passing through.
