About the Item
This is a ceramic chocolatière by Robert Picault, a renowned French ceramist known for his distinctive green-glazed pottery with linear motifs. The piece features an elegant, rounded body with vertical white stripes against a deep green background, creating a striking contrast.

This chocolatière, signed under the base, exemplifies Picault’s craftsmanship and mid-century modern aesthetic.
Robert Picault (1919–2000) was a French ceramist based in Vallauris, famous for his vibrant geometric pottery and collaborations with Picasso.

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.
