About the Item
Mid-Century Modern Vallauris Ashtray Bowl attributed to Marius Giuge, France, 1960s
Large Fat Lava Glazed Ceramic in Octagonal Form with Turquoise, Ochre and Brown Palette
Highly collectible French mid-century ashtray or catchall, handcrafted in the 1960s in Vallauris, a town renowned for its ceramic artistry. Attributed to Marius Giuge (1909–1980), this striking Fat Lava ceramic bowl features a distinctive octagonal shape with four recessed holders, ideal for cigars or cigarettes and a bold, lava-like texture.
The volcanic glaze technique creates a tactile surface in deep brown and ochre tones, accented by a vibrant turquoise blue glazed center with a crackled effect. This vivid, contrasting palette and thick glaze are signature characteristics of the "Fat Lava" movement, made famous in postwar European ceramic design.
Perfect as a statement piece for a coffee table, entryway, or office desk. Use it as a vide-poche, cigar ashtray, decorative bowl, or desk tidy.
