Atelier Cerenne Rene Neveux Vallauris French Ceramic Abstract Design Plate
About the Item
A bold and evocative abstract design decorates this mid century sculptural plate from the Atelier Cerenne founded by Charles Rene Neveux in Vallauris, France in the commune of Vence. Signed and stamped verso, this gorgeous example of ceramic artistry is a tour de force of quality, restraint and style. The strong black ground is heightened by the incised white outline and further added to by the use of red and green. Charles Rene Neveux founded the Atelier Cerenne in 1945 and it was active up through 1958 when it was sold. The atelier was best known for the small and high end production runs that produced such beautiful objects as the one here. It has been said that the Atelier Cerenne takes its name from the contraction of the founders name, Charles Rene Neveux. For a bit of history on Vallauris, here's a tidbit from the Perfectly Provence website: "Vallauris Golfe-Juan – “city of 100 potters” – is a tourist town on the French Riviera between Antibes and Cannes. Its name (Valauria in Provencal) means “the golden valley.” Divided into two parts; the old centre of Vallauris, and the seaside section running from the port along the Côte d’Azur, towards Antibes... However, 20th-century modernization brings with it a decline in artisanal pottery activity in Vallauris. After WWII, Picasso gives a new impetus to the pottery of Vallauris when he chooses to settle in the city. Like a magnet, the presence of Picasso draws the arrival of artists like Jean Marais and many others. Vallauris became fashionable in the years 1950-60 and ceramics developed as an art form." This gorgeous plate is an example of that modern abstract design. I really can't see anything except some age appropriate wear. And of course, the beautiful design.
