Marius Giuge - Vase (2) - Earthenware - Limited artisanal duo

Pair of ceramic vases with oxblood red flame glaze by Marius Giuge - Vallauris
A superb coordinated Mid-Century Modern ensemble, circa 1960, comprising a tall bottle vase and its matching soliflore cup. These workshop-made artisanal pieces from the period were produced in a limited series and entirely hand-decorated. They originate from the famous Vallauris art pottery and bear the master potter’s signature, Marius Giuge. The set is distinguished by a magnificent, spectacular oxblood red and black enameled glaze with white textured sea-foam-like projections. The fine material offers a superb orange translucency when lit from the inside, testimony to excellent firing quality. The large vase weighs 1 kg 163 g and measures 21 cm high by 17 cm deep, with a base diameter of 10.5 cm. It bears the incised inscription E. VAL under its base, an atelier abbreviation for Émaillage Vallauris. The matching small vase weighs 226 g and measures 8 cm high by 7 cm wide and 7 cm deep. It is stamped with the official raised relief mark Marius Giuge Vallauris under its base. This inseparable duo is in excellent condition, with no cracks or chips, ideal for vintage design collectors. Ultra-secure and meticulous shipping guaranteed to preserve the integrity of these ceramics.
