About the Item
French Mid-Century Vallauris Pottery Ashtray with Fat Lava Drip Glaze, Signed Ricard by T. Gail, 1950s
A striking example of mid-century French studio pottery, this sculptural ceramic ashtray is attributed to the Ricard ceramics workshop, active in the 1950s and associated with the Vallauris pottery tradition. Hand-signed on the base "Céramique Ricard" with artist signature T. Gail, it reflects the rich artistry of the Vallauris region, renowned for its vibrant ceramic production during the post-war era.
The ashtray features a round, organic form and is finished in a richly layered Fat Lava drip glaze, blending earthy browns with speckled streaks of teal, red, and ochre. The highly textured volcanic glaze surface exemplifies the expressive techniques used in mid-century modern art pottery, creating a bold and tactile visual effect.
Whether used as a functional ashtray, a decorative catchall dish, or a collectible ceramic centerpiece, this piece embodies the spirit of 1950s French modernism and would sit beautifully alongside other Vallauris ceramics, Fat Lava pottery, or mid-century decorative objects.
