Impression ceramic pitcher by Jean Marais, Vallauris

About the Item

This ceramic pitcher, crafted by Jean Marais in Vallauris (France), reflects a rustic yet refined aesthetic. Its rich brown glaze enhances the curves and smooth surface, while the artist's signature etched into the body signifies its authenticity. Standing on a sturdy pedestal base, the pitcher is both decorative and functional, embodying the artisanal tradition of Vallauris pottery—a region renowned for its ceramic artistry. Jean Marais (1913–1998) was a celebrated French actor, director, and artist. Beyond his legendary acting career, he devoted much of his later life to ceramics and sculpture, creating timeless works in Vallauris, a hub for creative pottery. This piece showcases Marais' deep passion for the arts, combining his artistic flair with the region's pottery heritage, making it a treasured collectible. It is a testament to Marais' versatile talent and cultural legacy. Perfect condition. More information upon request.
