A ceramic jug from Vallauris, France, dating from the 1960s, perfectly illustrates the creativity and formal freedom of Vallauris ceramics in the mid-20th century. This piece is distinguished by its slender, sculptural silhouette, resting on a circular base, and by its expressive, coiled handle, a true graphic element.
The body is covered with a deep, glossy black glaze, with subtle textural effects, contrasted by a spout highlighted with a nuanced touch of pink, adding a bold chromatic note. The interplay of volumes, curves, and color contrasts gives this jug a strong presence, both decorative and artistic. At the boundary between utilitarian object and sculpture, this jug is representative of the modernist and expressive aesthetic developed in Vallauris during the 1950s and 60s.
