Vallauris, Small Ceramic Vase, Brown Orange Drip Glaze c.1960s France

About the Item

A small modernist-style vase, handcrafted in Vallauris, France, circa 1960s Simple and modernist in form, the vase features a rotund base that expands into a sharply angular, inverted truncated cone. The ceramic is glazed in a warm, deep brown, accented with pools of bright yellow and orange—the vivid tones merging with the brown in an organic, oil-and-water drip-like effect - A highly skilled glazing technique that became synonymous with Vallauris pottery during the mid-century. Measuring 8 cm in diameter and 12.5 cm tall, its a small piece suited to use as a little bud vase, or as an interesting colourful piece to be displayed and admired. The vase is in very good condition for its age and use. Signed on the underside with "Vallauris" debossed into the ceramic base.

Vallauris Ceramic Poker Ashtray Set, Green Glazed with Gilt, France, 1960s
By Vallauris
Located in Glasgow, GB
This rare set of four handcrafted ceramic ashtrays by Vallauris is a striking example of mid-century French design, playfully inspired by the world of poker. Each ashtray is uniquely shaped to represent a card suit—spade, club, diamond, and ace—creating a cohesive yet distinctive collection. The deep malachite-green glaze lends a rich, almost jewel-like quality to the pieces, further accentuated by the bold gold gilt borders that highlight the shape of each piece. Housed in their original faux lizard-skin presentation box, these ashtrays have been well preserved. The glaze remains glossy and deep, with no apparent signs of ash residue, suggesting they were rarely, if ever, used for their intended purpose. The gold detailing exhibits some minor surface wear, but it retains its brightness, adding to the vintage charm. Measuring approximately 8 cm in length and width, with a height of 3 cm, each piece is perfectly sized for tabletop display. While originally designed as ashtrays, their sculptural forms and opulent finish make them equally suited for use as decorative objects or small trinket dishes...
