About the Item
This gargoulette by Robert Picault embodies his signature style and functionality. Typically crafted from terracotta, this double-handled water pitcher features a spherical body and a spout, with designs of bold, rhythmic patterns in greens and browns. The glaze enhances its utility and aesthetic, reflecting Picault's blend of tradition and modernity. Each piece reveals his mastery of form and timeless artistic vision.
Robert Picault (1919–2000) was a renowned French ceramicist known for his innovative approach to pottery and distinctive designs. He was a key figure in the Vallauris ceramics movement, alongside contemporaries like Pablo Picasso. Picault’s work is characterized by its clean lines, geometric patterns, and earthy tones, often drawing inspiration from traditional Provençal pottery. He settled in Vallauris in the late 1940s, where he founded his studio and gained international recognition.

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.
