About the Item
Small rectangular mirror, gilded enamel, with inlaid decoration imitating emerald green, black and ruby-coloured jewels, signed.
Signed F. Lembo with incised signature on the back.
Originally from Vallauris, François Lembo began his career as a potter in 1951, working in the Calva and Rossignol workshops. After his apprenticeship and national service, he worked for three years in the workshop of his father-in-law, Marc Roussel, before opening his own workshop in Vallauris in 1960. Influenced by Byzantine art, Roussel's work inspired Lembo to create mirrors, often decorated in the style of Russian icons. He produced a number of religious icons decorated with small ceramic beads. Lembo sold his works to ‘Terre de Provence’ and enjoyed considerable success in the 1960s and 1970s. He worked as a ceramist for over 23 years. He passed away in 2013.
