About the Item
Mid-Century Vallauris “Sea Shell” Vide-Poche / Catchall – Red, Brown & Yellow Ceramic
A very beautiful Vallauris “céramique” vide-poche or catchall, sculpted in the form of a sea horn shell. The piece features a striking color palette of red, brown, and yellow glazes—showcasing the signature Vallauris flair for vibrant tones and organic forms.
Handmade in France circa the 1950s, this sculptural ceramic captures the Mid-Century Vallauris tradition of interpreting nature’s shapes in imaginative, modernist ways. It is both a decorative object and a functional piece—ideal as a catchall on an entryway console, a jewelry or trinket dish on a vanity, or a statement accent on a coffee table or cabinet.
In pristine condition.
Marked VALLAURIS on the base.
