About the Item

A large decorative platter with decor of birds/doves designed by André Baud for Vallauris, France mid-1900s. With hallmark and signature of artist and maker. With signs of age and use, losses and dents. About the artist: SEVEN ANDRE BAUD (1903-1986) studied at the School of Fine Arts in Bourges from 1920 to 1923 and received the Grand Prize for Ceramics in 1923. He continued his training at the School of Applied Arts in Paris from 1923 to 1926. he obtained an award at the International Exhibition of Decorative Art in 1925. From 1926 to 1940, he worked in various art workshops and ceramic companies while participating in exhibitions (the Salon des Indépendants, the Salon of Decorative Artists, the Salon d'Automne). André and his wife Micheline Bour arrived in Vallauris in 1942 and rented a factory which they later bought. He set up a sales shop there run by Micheline, which thus distributed the production of culinary, utilitarian and decorative ceramics. Based in Vallauris, after Suzanne Ramié (Madoura workshop), André Baud actively participated in the renaissance of ceramics in Vallauris, with Robert Picault and Roger Capron (the Callis workshop in 1945). In the summer of 1946, the trio (Madoura, Baud and Callis) organized the first exhibition of potters from Vallauris in the hall of the Nérolium, which later became the Biennale Internationale de la Céramique d’Art de Vallauris. In this time of golden age of pottery in the area, André created friendships with Henri Grailhe, Picasso, Paul Eluard. André Baud created unique decorative pieces of high quality, often decorated on a range of matt satin backgrounds ranging from silky black to pure white. His work has been rewarded with numerous prizes: International Exhibition Albisola 1958: vermeil medal. Chain of craft union of crafts Paris 1963: diploma of honor. Gold medal at the ceramics festival, Albisola, 1963 - and many more.
