Richard LE CORRONE at CIBOURE Large Greek Stoneware Vase, Early 1950s
By Ciboure, Richard Le Corrone
Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR
Large stoneware vase by Richard Le Corrone at Ciboure, France, early 1950s. High technical quality rotating Greek decor. The stylized rotating scenery depicts Artemis and Apollo hunting with their dogs. Jarraila technique. Height : 11"(28cm), Diameter : 9.45"(24cm). Signed "R.

The sandstone reflects this enthusiasm for this growing area since the late 19th century. In 1945, Rudolf Fischer bought the pottery on which it imposes its trademark in 1951 - RF CIBOURE - to replace the old - VE CIBOURE -. It will be replaced later by that of his son Max Fischer - MF CIBOURE -. He brings technical and artistic changes such as molding, baking more oxidizing and parts production utilities. This pottery owes its success, in addition to the decorative qualities and originality of its production, to an excellent marketing, particularly among Parisian department stores. Finally we note the names of its principal designers, the first and until 1922: Louis Floutier...
