Jug with ear (diameter 10 cm, height 16 cm), Vallauris Robert Picault , in excellent condition.
Beautiful and decorative ceramics by the famous Robert Picault.
After studying ceramics at the Ecole des Arts Appliqués in Paris, Robert Picault (1919-2000) moved to Vallauris at the end of the Second World War, where he founded the Atelier Callis with Roger Capron in 1946. Two years later he set up his own pottery on the Chemin du Fournas.
He used copper oxide and iron oxide in his glazes and most of his work is characterised by green and brown motifs on a white background.
Vallauris is an area near Marseille that has been producing quality ceramics for many years. Robert Picault is a famous potter from the area. The area grew as a pottery in the late 19th century and since then many companies have flourished there, notably those of Massier, Madoura and Foucard-Jourdan. They have a wonderful tradition of striking, modern ceramics. This is an example of one of them.
