Vallauris - Fruit basket - Ceramic, Different kind of Stones

1960s Vallauris Ceramic Basket with Stone Fruits - Hand-Glazed Collector's Piece

This eye-catching ceramic basket from Vallauris, France, dating back to the 1960s, showcases the vibrant artistry of mid-century French pottery. Accompanied by a selection of decorative stone fruits, this ensemble brings a unique and colourful accent to any interior decor.

The basket is crafted in a woven design with intricate relief details and is hand-glazed in rich autumnal hues: deep browns, yellows, reds, and greens. Its striking sculptural form is accentuated by oversized ceramic leaves on either end, making it a true statement piece. The stone fruit collection includes items made of onyx and possibly other hardstones such as alabaster and marble, each offering varied natural tones and textures. Please note that the fruits are not of Vallauris production.

Made in Vallauris, a town renowned for its ceramic production, this basket reflects the artisanal tradition of the region. The basket itself is in excellent vintage condition, showing no visible damage or restoration. The fruits, however, exhibit signs of wear, with minor chips and small losses consistent with age and use.
