About the Item

20th century French white ceramic pitcher by René Maurel, 1970's The pitcher is glazed in a brilliant creamy white. It is decorated with an animal frieze with geometric motifs and colored in pale tones. It is signed. It is in a very good condition. Painter and ceramist, René Maurel has built his reputation on the precision of his decorations, his geometrical forms, covered with shiny and cloudy glazes. His chromatic range, harmonious and refined, sometimes offers a serious tone that can be found in his still lifes or his abstract compositions. From 1945 to 1960, Maurel is settled in Vallauris, the capital of art ceramics and pottery on the Côte d'Azur, whom the reputation of the village had been boomed by Pablo Picasso's arrival. René Maurel is quickly and quickly distinguished himself from local production by his precision - in sgraffiato patterns - , technicality, chromatic sensitivity and imaginative iconography. Then he settled not far from Nice, in Tourettes-sur-Loup until 1974. The artist's works feature a bestiary of fish, ibexes, cats and other birds, as well as characters, "historiated" decorations and lettering. René Maurel always retranscribes his creative universe in a stylised manner.

Decorative ceramic pitcher by Robert Perot, founder of the pottery, Vieux Moulin (circa 1960s), Vallauris, France. Charming earthenware glazed piece with abstract motif in the central decorative band. The motif is reminiscent of a Balinese or African garment pattern with a lovely chocolate brown background and oatmeal hued linear shapes. It suggests movement not dissimilar to a Keith Haring piece. This is an authentic, collectible mid-century modern pottery piece and is entirely unique rather than from a run of many. The underside is impressed with, 'Vieux Moulin Vallauris...
