Sculptural Ceramic Candlestick by Marius Giuge, Vallauris, France, 1960s

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. Signed on the underside: Marius Giuge, Vallauris Dimensions: Height 37 cm (14.6 in), Diameter 21 cm (8.3 in) Origin: Vallauris, France Period: 1960s Condition: Excellent vintage condition with minimal signs of wear consistent with age This is a collectible object for lovers of post-war French ceramics and mid-century modern art.
