About the Item

Midcentury French ceramic lamp by Marcel Giraud - Vallauris - 1960s. It is a beautiful handcrafted table lamp both raw and elegant that can blend either in a country chic atmosphere or in a refined interior. Enamaled and decorated with geometrics patterns. In very good conditions. Signed under the base " Giraud". Circa 1960-1970. Unique piece. Measures : High: 37cm with the lamp shade (17cm without) Diameter: 21cm 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.
