Vallauris - Robert Picault - Egg holder set (2) - Earthenware

Immerse yourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the Côte d'Azur in the 1960s with this exceptional set consisting of a two-handled bowl and a coordinated egg cup. These pieces perfectly embody the aesthetic language of Robert Picault, the master who, together with Picasso, transformed the small town of Vallauris into the world’s epicenter of avant-garde ceramics.

The bowl, with generous, organic lines, features the characteristic ear-shaped handles molded directly from the body, a distinctive technical detail of high-quality atelier production. The decoration, executed strictly freehand, alternates geometric fields with informal patches of ramina green and manganese brown, creating that play of oxides and transparencies that made Picault's signature famous worldwide.

The egg cup with a supporting saucer repeats the lattice motif typical of Picault's school, offering a geometric contrast that dialogically pairs perfectly with the bowl's fluidity. Both pieces bear on the bottom the brush-drawn monogram, a signature that attests to their nature as unique handmade pieces, far from cold industrial production.

Vallauris ceramics, and in particular those associated with Picault's circle, are experiencing an exceptional revival on the international design market. Possessing these objects means bringing into your home a piece of European modernism history, capable of aging well over time and adding a note of authentic artisanal character to any prestigious collection.
