Le Vaucour Vase, Vallauris

An Authentic vintage vase made by ceramist Marino Le Vaucour at the Vallauris factory.

This striking vase, combines a geometric composition with red and black triangles, a typical style of the 50’s. It’s reminiscent of Russian Constructivism. It has a textured volcanic glaze showing black craters on a white surface, with a clear glaze finish. The Vallauris vase is irregular and free in its form and suggest a more fluid, dynamic making process.

Vallauris pottery is highly collectible. Picasso greatly contributed to the renaissance of the Vallauris pottery industry in the 1950s, this legendary golden age when everyone was a potter, including famous ceramicists Roger Capron and Charles Voltz.
