About the Item

Mid-Century Modern Vallauris Ashtray Bowl attributed to Marius Giuge, France, 1960s Large Fat Lava Glazed Ceramic in Octagonal Form with Turquoise, Ochre and Brown Palette Highly collectible French mid-century ashtray or catchall, handcrafted in the 1960s in Vallauris, a town renowned for its ceramic artistry. Attributed to Marius Giuge (1909–1980), this striking Fat Lava ceramic bowl features a distinctive octagonal shape with four recessed holders, ideal for cigars or cigarettes and a bold, lava-like texture. The volcanic glaze technique creates a tactile surface in deep brown and ochre tones, accented by a vibrant turquoise blue glazed center with a crackled effect. This vivid, contrasting palette and thick glaze are signature characteristics of the "Fat Lava" movement, made famous in postwar European ceramic design. Perfect as a statement piece for a coffee table, entryway, or office desk. Use it as a vide-poche, cigar ashtray, decorative bowl, or desk tidy. * Designer: Attributed to Marius Giuge * Origin: Vallauris, France * Period: 1960s * Style: Mid-Century Modern / Brutalist / Fat Lava * Technique: Hand-glazed ceramic with textured lava glaze * Color Palette: Earthy ochre, rich brown, and turquoise blue * Markings: Signed "Vallauris" on underside Dimensions: 7.5 in. x 7.5 in. x 2.25 in.
