When my aunt was earning her M.F.A., her focus was paper and she created many contemporary interpretations of those swirly traditional marbleized European papers. Ever since then I've been drawn to swirls -- in ceramics, in malachite, or on paper. And according to the May domino, Carolina Irving loves this design too.
Sylvie Saint-Andre Perrin currently produces Terre Melee, marbled pottery that originated in Apt, France. More than fifty rich color mixes are available; Cameroun (red, white, dark green and black) is shown at top. The Grand Tour sells theses wares and styled the tabletop image above.
An Atlanta source for these ceramics is BD Jeffries.

Wow, the marbled pottery is definitely something unique. Very nice!
Courtney - they are gorgeous - thanks for the sourcing.
glad you all like the links :)
I think you are on to something. Looking back over the Regency Park show house photos, I see that Dan Carithers used similar marbled ceramics in neutrals. I love the colorful display you have here.
Ah, so pretty. Thank you for the distraction.
thanks for the showhouse notes millie, good to know :)
Just beautiful Courtney!
everyone,
thanks for the positive input.
I love terres meleés.
Apt is my favorite ones but now Poterie Ravel make some and I bought some pieces for my kitchen. They look terrific.
Great post about something uncommon
