It is of the style of similar work by Elke Montreau-Lohoff, France.  Elke Montreau-Lohoff is less known than Élisabeth Joulia but they worked together in the famous pottery village of La Borne, a place where many great artists had their ateliers. For centuries, the pottery-making tradition in La Borne flourished, with technical skills and knowledge passed down through families. From the early 1940s through the 1980s, La Borne was the epicentre of a distinct art movement revolutionising the global expression of sculptural ceramics by putting clay and stoneware in the spotlight and highlighting its strength, colour and texture through revolutionary shapes and glazes. This vase is a typical example of the Modern movement which was going on in La Borne, both in modern sculptural shape and expression in glaze.
