About the Item

Mid-Century Set of 3 French Ceramic plates by Naumovitch Era Vallauris Capron Exceptional set of three plates decorated with women's faces. Emblematic creations of Ljuba Naumovitch in the Atelier Grand Chêne in Vallauris, the drawings are superb. Completely in the characteristic style of the 50's, they constitute a rare and charming lot. Measures of the three plates : - 17 x 16 cm - diameter : 17 cm - 8,5 x9,5 cm -------------------------------- In 1948, the couple Odette Gourju and Ljuba Naumovitch acquired the workshop Le Grand Chêne. Near the big oak tree, chemin du Fournas where Robert Picault also established his workshop, they settled in this village known for its ceramics and boomed in the 1950s by the arrival of Pablo Picasso who now also worked in pottery. While they produced utilitarian ceramics with white and striped backgrounds, they also created more artistic pieces with decorations of fauna, flowers, birds and women, reminding us that the couple had trained as painters at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Both Odette and Lujba found inspiration in the work of Giorgo De Chirico and Henri Matisse. Their son Jacques Innocenti (1926-1958) took over the studio and enlarged it with the help of his companion Nydia. They created works of great beauty. The ceramist Juliette Derel worked in the studio until 1951.
