About the Item
Vallauris ceramic vessel by Robert Picault. With RP signature on the base. France, 1970.
Robert Picault, a renowned ceramist active in the 20th century, marked his era with his unique ceramic creations. Specialising in culinary tableware, Picault innovated by developing his own alkifoux, a characteristic mixture of lead sulphide and sand. Inspired by the Muslim Middle Ages, his style is distinguished by geometric motifs, executed in blue, manganese and the iconic shades of green. His collaboration with artists such as Picasso and Roger Capron enriched his work. The collector's items, signed "Picault", bear witness to his exceptional know-how, while the industrial creations can be recognised by the monogram "rp" after his departure.

Robert Picault
Robert Picault was born in Paris. After studying ceramics at the Ecole des Arts Appliqués in Paris, he moved to Vallauris at the end of World War Two. Here, with Roger Capron, he founded the Atelier Callis in 1946. Two years later, he set up his own pottery in the Chemin du Fournas in the village. He was a friend, colleague and next-door-neighbour to Pablo Picasso, and the two learnt from each other aspects of the other's specialities. Picault was also an accomplished cinematographer and photographer, and made a series of four short films with Picasso and leading show-business personalities of the 1950s. He used copper oxide and iron oxide in his glazes, and the bulk of his work is characterized by green and brown geometric motifs consisting of noughts and crosses, bands and waves.
