Vallauris Ceramic Pitcher, Monaco Decor, Hand Painted, Highlights of Gilding

About the Item

Lovely small ceramic pitcher from Vallauris with a so-called "Monaco" decoration, hand painted with enamelled floral motifs, very colorful on a black background and heightened with gilding. It remains, to this day, a rare piece as much for its shape, its patterns, its colors as its excellent state of conservation. Period: 20th century circa: 1950 - 1960 Dimensions: height: 15cm x width: 10cm                     diameter of the base: 3cm Signed on the bottom in black mention of hand decoration, form 53, engraved with a stylus in the dough.  This local craft was born in 1874, with the foundation of the Artistic Pottery of Monte-Carlo. It is nevertheless since the exhibitions of Paris and Nice (1878 and 1884) that the Principality is known for its pottery. The first Monegasque workshop closed in 1884, following management problems. Prince Albert I decided in 1907 to have a second opened. As is the case for many manufacturers of French ceramics, many workshops developed from 1946, at the end of the war. Their success is thus intimately linked to the Monte Carlo ascent. Today, the most famous ceramic workshops in Monaco are: Azuréart, Cérart, Céramica, Céraflor, Cerdazur, Monacéram, and Monazur. The favorite themes of these ceramics, earthenware and porcelain are nature, with all kinds of flowers, fruits, the marine world and more rarely birds. The shapes and colors aim to rekindle the joy of living. The ornaments are treated in high relief, to give the impression of having simply been placed. Collectors and enthusiasts will not be mistaken, it is a real favorite with bright and bright colors.
