About the Item

Monumental Mid-Century Ceramic Vase by Marcel Giraud - 1960s - Vallauris Era Capron A rare and monumental ceramic vase by Marcel Giraud, crafted in France circa 1960. With its sculptural presence and exceptional scale — an impressive 30 cm in height and diameter — this piece transcends its utilitarian origins to become a true statement object. The form is both bold and harmonious, with soft curves and a broad, rounded belly tapering to a discreet foot. The surface is coated in a richly textured glaze that oscillates between deep earthy tones and subtle metallic highlights, offering a play of light and shadow that animates its massive volume. This piece is a striking example of French ceramic modernism, bearing close affinity with the work of Jean and Jacqueline Lerat, Accolay, and even Jacques Pouchain, while standing firmly in its own identity through Giraud’s restrained palette and refined glazing technique. Its size and weight suggest it was conceived as a centerpiece, whether for a modernist interior, a collector’s gallery, or as a monumental accent in a minimalist space. In excellent vintage condition. Signed under base. ----------- Marcel Giraud, French ceramist, settled in the 1950s in Vallauris, village known for its ceramics and boomed in the 1950s by the arrival of Pablo Picasso who now also worked in pottery. Located on the Azue coast, this village becomes in this post-war period an intense place of creation where Pablo Picasso launches out in the pottery and where many artists such as Jean Cocteau, Marc Chagall, Fernand Léger mix. Roger Capron, Robert Picault, Suzanne Ramié became renowned ceramists. But pottery is above all an art of fire, so his desire for knowledge leads him to the Tolia workshop where he experimented with wood-firing, the only one at the time. He learned the alchemy of fire, the chemistry of oxides and the construction of kilns. After having worked for Argonautes and Albert Thiry, Marcel Giraud launched his own workshop in 1960. For fifteen years, he produces decorative and culinary ceramics that he signs Cardelle at first, then with his name Marcel Giraud.
