Introducing the diverse range of Crystalline glazes by Bruno Auvinet.
Over 2025, Bruno created an admirable batch of just 10 EBPC stamped pots, displaying the variety and magnificence of crystalline glazes he has developed over the years.
The pots are well proportioned and traditional in their refined forms. The breath-taking glazes are in tones chosen to compliment trees, yet provide endless interest and awe.
