1950s Vallauris Ceramic Basket with Stone Oranges - Handcrafted French Art Pottery

A charming and decorative Vallauris ceramic fruit basket from the 1950s, complete with four realistic stone oranges. This hand-glazed centrepiece captures the elegance and vibrant style of mid-century French ceramics, blending function with artistry.

Crafted in Vallauris, France, a town celebrated for its pottery tradition, this piece showcases masterful latticework in deep green glaze with a glossy finish. The sculpted lemon with leaves on the rim adds a cheerful Mediterranean flair. The basket includes four hand-carved stone oranges in varying sizes, mimicking natural citrus textures and tones.

Signed "Vallauris" and marked with model reference "F.P.P A17," this item guarantees its authenticity and origin. Measuring 36 cm (14.17 in) in length, 29 cm (11.42 in) in width, and 8.5 cm (3.35 in) in height, it is a striking decorative object ideal for display on a kitchen counter or dining table.

This collectible is a testament to French ceramic artistry of the mid-20th century. While the basket shows minor signs of wear, including light chipping and surface dirt, it remains structurally sound and visually captivating. Its handcrafted charm and retro appeal make it an excellent addition for collectors or interior decor enthusiasts.
