AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sculptural lacy ceramic vase - Fat Lava Style - Vallauris, France - Circa 1960/1970
Superb and significant art vase in glazed ceramic, characteristic and sought-after production from the Vallauris workshops (South of France), dating from the 1960s/1970s.
This piece fits perfectly into the modernist and expressive trend of the Fat Lava movement. It stands out for a free, asymmetric and decidedly sculptural form, enhanced by organic perforated openings on the ceramic walls.
The glazing work is remarkable and highly visual: on a deep chocolate-brown background, there unfold magnificent expressionist drips overlaid in vibrant fuchsia pink and textured speckled white, offering a striking contrast.
Marking:
The piece bears the handwritten inscription “Vallauris” under the base, manual signature (see photo).
• Origin: Vallauris, France
• Period: 1960s - 1970s
• Style: Mid-Century Modern / Fat Lava / Ceramic art
• Material: Glazed ceramic with flowing glaze
• Condition: Very good condition
The object will be packed with the greatest care
