Vallauris (South of France)

I'm not a big fan of Vallauris generally however the work of certain artists and studios I do like. These bowls that Paul bought recently I think are fab - a great shape and nice drippy glazes.

more Picault nice little mugs you can't object to these Dan

Hi there,
Came across this way wacky vase several years ago and couldn't resist! Fat lava glaze with two red and one black triangles in gloss glaze. It's 25.5cm tall. I think the signature is French but haven't a clue as to who made it. Would love to know! Thanks.
Cheers,
Mr.
Roboto

Can anyone suggest a possible maker of this vase?

Thanks

WOW PICAULT

I first saw it some years ago in a house nearby the owners mother bought it in portugal I explained that it was Vallauris yesterday she phoned to say they were moving house and had some 'brocante' to sell so there it was I'll probably only get 20euros for it on a flea market at the present time so may hold on to it for a while (it still has traces of gratin in it )

well there seems to be no Callis mark which you would expect if that was so did Capron start of Picaults designs? it looks to me more like a late picault than an early capron is there much wear or scratches?

sunshine and wine thats what those young potters were after this is an experimental piece as many were then

callis was set up by Capron ,Picault and Derval by 1949 Picault left and set up his own factory Capron hadn't the money to join him there are some early caprons with the same glaze colours as Picault he was making 50 plates a day on his own at one point, Gilbert Valetine introduced him to slip casting at this point and he started inventing the shapes he would continue to use

not many people know about the Callis mark so keep it to yourself ??? oops

its true Picault normally put just RP or picault in block capitals vallauris only appears on the stamped pieces whereas Capron usually wrote vallauris

lots of people worked at girauds including Kostanda there is some confusion over the signatures but they are usually signed
