About the Item
Large Stoneware Vase by Richard Le Corrone, Ciboure Pottery, France, Early 1950s.
Striking large stoneware vase by Richard Le Corrone, produced at the renowned Ciboure pottery on the Basque coast of France in the early 1950s. This piece displays a highly accomplished rotating antelope décor, executed using the demanding Jarraila technique, a hallmark of Ciboure’s technical and artistic excellence.
The vase features two elegant side handles and a powerful yet balanced form inspired by ancient and traditional Basque vessels, a defining characteristic of Ciboure production. The antelope frieze, rhythmically encircling the body, demonstrates Le Corrone’s mastery of movement, surface treatment, and glaze control, placing this work among the most decorative examples of mid-century French stoneware.
The vase is signed “R. Le Corrone” and stamped “RF CIBOURE” under the base, indicating production during the Rudolf Fischer period, a particularly sought-after era for collectors of Ciboure ceramics.
An excellent example of postwar French studio pottery, combining Art Deco heritage, regional identity, and refined craftsmanship.

About Ciboure Pottery and Richard Le Corrone
Ciboure Pottery
Ciboure pottery was founded in 1919 on the Basque coast by Étienne Vilotte (1881–1957), Louis Benjamin Victor Floutier (1882–1936), and an associate known as Lukas. Officially established in 1922, with Vilotte as director, the workshop quickly developed a distinctive artistic identity rooted in classical antiquity, neo-Greek influences, and regional Basque traditions, while also drawing inspiration from Art Deco aesthetics.
From its inception, Ciboure aimed to produce high-quality decorative ceramics, often inspired by ancient or traditional container forms. The use of stoneware reflected the renewed interest in this material from the late 19th century onward, prized for both its durability and expressive potential.
In 1945, the pottery was acquired by Rudolf Fischer, who introduced important technical and artistic developments. In 1951, he established the “RF CIBOURE” stamp, replacing the earlier “VE CIBOURE” mark. Fischer modernized production through improved molding techniques, more oxidizing firings, and a broader range of utilitarian and decorative forms. Ciboure’s success was further enhanced by strong commercial distribution, particularly through Parisian department stores. Later, the mark evolved into “MF CIBOURE” under his son Max Fischer.
Richard Le Corrone (1909–1977)
Richard Le Corrone was one of the most important designers associated with Ciboure pottery, active primarily during the interwar and postwar periods. Born in 1909, he became known for his refined forms, dynamic animal motifs, and technically complex decorative techniques, including rotating and engraved designs such as the Jarraila technique.
Le Corrone’s work reflects the synthesis at the heart of Ciboure ceramics: classical structure, regional identity, and modern decorative expression. Today, his signed pieces are highly regarded by collectors of French studio pottery, Basque ceramics, and mid-20th-century decorative arts.

The characteristics of Art Deco are a source of inspiration as well as the regional style is an influence. The goal is clear: to offer high quality and decorative items whose forms are inherited from the ancient or traditional Basque containers. The sandstone reflects this enthusiasm for this growing area since the late 19th century.
