Robert Picault - Vallauris

Hi

An unmarked earthenware glazed tray in white, greens and blues reminiscent of Bitossi pattern however no impressed design. Any ideas?

looks a lot like picault vallauris france

I think you maybe right there

Not Bitossi. Maybe French, as tenpot says, or made in Portugal.

I'm fairly confident it's Picault

Looks like Picault to me also. Just one question though the dish appears to be molded, did Picault make molded pieces

this is probably a later piece when Picault was no longer at the pottery there are a couple of other potters who used the same style at vallauris Fazio is one tho he usually has red dots

Interesting early Picault mural at St. Jannet. I saw it this weekend.

Robert Picault

Robert Picault was born in 1919 and after studying ceramics at the Ecole des Arts Appliqués in Paris moved, at the end of World War Two, to Vallauris where, with Roger Capron, he founded the Atelier Callis in 1946. Two years later he set up his own pottery in the Chemin du Fournas.

He was a friend, colleague and next-door-neighbour to Pablo Picasso, and the two learnt from each other aspects of the other's specialities. Picault was also an accomplished cinematographer and photographer, and made a series of four short films with Picasso and leading show-business personalities of the fifties.

He used copper oxide and iron oxide in his glazes, and the bulk of his work is characterised by green and brown motifs on a white background.

Picault died in 2000.

Well no matter where the thread is. Here is a a whole dinner set for you!

Hi, I recently bought these plates in a local charity shop (i live in Rossendale). Having researched the RP mark, all I can come up with is Rossendale Pottery which would obvioulsy seem to make sense...but I can't find anything similar by Rossendale Pottery/Derek Clarkson. Do you think these are Rossendale pottery or something else? Thanks in advance.

Its French. Robert Picault pottery from Vallauris.

Thanks Philpot  

That dinner set I posted in the Picault thread had a hammer price of £500.

I just figured out this RP mark today by accident

usually I buy all my collection in Italy but I forgot about a few pieces I bought in Switzerland over the summer and they ended up both being French-made

Picault seems to often use the same colours and similar patterns, I believe my large piece is from the 1950s

Guys came across this link to DAG - with similar decoration to RP pieces. Have we not had some posted in ID?
