About the Item
Sculptural Ceramic Candlestick by Marius Giuge, Vallauris, France, 1960s
Striking mid-century ceramic candlestick by French artist Marius Giuge, crafted in Vallauris, the historic pottery town in southern France famously associated with Pablo Picasso’s ceramic work during the post-war years.
This unique piece features a three-legged architectural base and supports three candle holders, making it both a functional object and a sculptural centerpiece. The textured surface is coated in a rich volcanic brown glaze with dramatic white drips, creating a strong visual and tactile presence.
A rare example of the brutalist ceramic movement emerging in France in the 1960s, this piece reflects the artistic energy that Vallauris became known for following Picasso’s influence in the region.
