11pc Speckled Stoneware Tea Set, France, 1970s

A striking and cohesive French studio pottery tea service in a deeply speckled dark brown glaze that shifts between warm amber, black, and golden tones across the surface. The set comprises a tall, architecturally confident teapot with a flat lid, looped handle, and angled spout, along with five cups and five saucers, all sharing the same bold speckled glaze. The teapot has a particularly strong graphic presence, its vertical proportions and clean silhouette setting it apart from more conventional forms. A highly collectible and usable tea set of excellent quality.
