Vallauris - Vase - Exceptional Pitcher/Vase - Brutalist Design "Fat Lava" and Reactive Glazes - Ceramic

Immerse yourself in the bold and innovative aesthetics of the 60s and 70s with this remarkable ceramic pitcher/vase from Vallauris.

A testament to the artistic craftsmanship of this emblematic region of southern France, this piece perfectly embodies the spirit of post-war French artisanry, blending organic shapes with captivating textures.

A striking and unique design, this jug stands out with its asymmetric silhouette and sculptural handle that rises gracefully.
The surface texture is absolutely fascinating: a 'Fat Lava' effect in an off-white or cream color, sprinkled with bubbles and brown-orange craters, creating a tactile and visual relief of great richness. This finish recalls natural rock formations or the lunar surface, giving the piece a brutalist and organic character.

Explosion of colors and glazes, at the center of the body and extending onto the handle, a flow of bright enamel in a deep, almost amber orange, contrasts beautifully with the matte and grainy texture surrounding it. This warm and vibrant color adds a touch of dynamism and highlights the exceptional work of reactive enamel, a signature of many pieces from Vallauris.
