About the Item

Origin Vallauris, France, circa 1950s Materials Glazed ceramic Condition Very good vintage condition, consistent with age and light use A delightful set of four handled appetizer dishes by Robert Picault, one of the most influential ceramists of Vallauris during the mid-20th century. Picault, who worked alongside Picasso, is celebrated for his instantly recognizable style: bold geometric and folkloric motifs painted in his signature palette of green, brown, and white glazes. This set illustrates the diversity of his decorative vocabulary. Each dish is unique, featuring hand-painted patterns ranging from spirals and diamonds to abstracted flora and net-like grids. The elongated handles add both function and charm, transforming these utilitarian pieces into lively works of art. Produced in the 1950s, at the height of Picault’s career, these appetizer dishes reflect the postwar revival of Vallauris as a center for artistic ceramics. Today, they are highly collectible for their blend of everyday practicality and expressive decoration, equally suited for serving or display within a curated collection of French mid-century design.
