French Ceramic Plate by Robert Picault, Signed, Vallauris, France, 1950s

About the Item

French Ceramic Plate By Robert Picault. Signed. Vallauris, France - 1950s. Large dish enamelled in white and green tones. Decorated with a big green flower and geometric decorations on the edge. In good condition, with very little lack of original enamel. It is signed. 19cmx15cm On the last picture you can see other Picault pieces available on our store. Robert Picault (1919-2000), studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and joined Vallauris in 1946 in a post-war period of reconstruction and ideological and spiritual renewal. The village becomes a ceramics capital after Pablo Piccaso's arrival. There, with Jean Derval and Roger Capron, his schoolmates, he founded the Callis workshop. Picault, a potter, creates the pieces that his friends Derval and Capron decorate. Then he creates his own workshop next to Picasso's studio. He produced more personal pieces based on black enamel and alquifoux, drawings of animals and women. Then Robert Picault became particularly interested in culinary ceramics, which he helped to renew. He uses a typical set of colours, based on green and brown, copper oxide and iron oxide, applied with a brush on the white enamel. He decorates his pieces with motifs of fauna and flora, but also with lines and geometric shapes.
