Ceramic coffee table ‘Herbier’ by Roger Capron (Sold)

An oval ceramic ‘Herbier’ coffee table designed and produced by Roger Capron in his ceramic production facility in the 1960’s Vallauris, France. The tiles were hand produced by a technique in which real leaves were pressed into the clay and, during firing, disintegrated, leaving a finely detailed imprint. The ‘Herbier’ tiles were a sub-category of these garrigue tiles and refer to the smaller leaves and are either outlined by an earthtone enamel or sometimes entirely covered by the earthtone enamel. Signature visible on the table. Dark wooden legs support the ceramic top. Some using marks on the table but in very good condition.
