About the Item

Small ceramic vase decorated with metallic crystallizations by the artist Serafino Ferraro (1939-2017) from the city of Vallauris in France. Vallauris ceramics encompass the production of workshops and factories in the Vallauris region (France). At the end of the 19th century, the arrival of the railroads enabled production to expand, and the town's small workshops were transformed into full-fledged factories. Then, in the 20th century, culinary pottery began to decline (replaced by metal vessels), giving way to artistic ceramics. But it was in the late 1940s, with the arrival of Picasso in Vallauris, that the town's image as a center of traditional pottery took hold. In the 1950s, the greatest artists and architects converged on Vallauris.

The fascination with the orient and its exotic decoration dominated the 18th-19th centuries. It was China that started the enthusiasm for the costumes and artistic shapes that came from faraway lands. However, as a result of conquests and colonial Expansion, this fascination saw the displacement of its origins. During the 18th century, Chinese and Turkish styles invaded the salons and gardens of royalty as well as affluent esthetes who prided themselves on their taste for The Orient. From then on, baths were Turkish, furniture was lacquered, Persian tapestries...
