About the Item
This is a ceramic chocolate pot crafted by Robert Picault in Vallauris during the 1950s. Known for his distinctive designs, this piece features Picault’s signature grid pattern with geometric motifs, hand-painted in earthy tones of white and terracotta. Its curved body, elongated spout, and sturdy handle reflect both functionality and elegance. The lid's pointed finial completes the pot’s balanced design. Picault’s mastery in blending traditional forms with modern aesthetics is evident in this piece, making it a collector’s delight.
Robert Picault (1919–2000) was a celebrated French ceramist based in Vallauris. He gained fame for his utilitarian pottery, characterized by minimalist geometric decorations and natural glazes. Picault collaborated with artists like Picasso, helping Vallauris become a global hub for ceramics. His work remains iconic in mid-century design.

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.
