AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful set consisting of a small frying pan (poêlon) with a handle, a glazed earthenware plate, and an ashtray made by the famous ceramist Robert Picault in Vallauris.
These three pieces perfectly illustrate Picault's iconic style, with their hand-painted graphic decoration in copper-green and brown tones on a white background, inspired by Mediterranean tradition. From the late 1940s, Robert Picault revolutionized Vallauris utilitarian ceramics with his concept « from the kitchen to the table », combining functionality and aesthetics.
* Artist: Robert Picault (1919-2000)
* Origin: Vallauris, France
* Period: around 1950-1960
* Material: Glazed earthenware
* Decoration: Green and brown geometric motifs hand-painted
* Signature: Monogram « RP » on the reverse (to be clarified if present on both pieces)

A sought-after set by collectors of Vallauris ceramics and of Robert Picault, a major figure in the post-war revival of French ceramics.
