Vallauris, a seaside commune on the French Riviera, became known for its exceptional pottery during the mid-20th century. What attracted collectors in particular was the experimental bent of many of the village’s ceramicists, and to this day, Vallauris pieces are synonymous with unique, often quirky features. This pitcher is no exception, thanks to its handle and knob that mimic the appearance of coiled rope, while the haphazardly applied bottle-green paint spills around the edges of the silhouette. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
