Vintage Vallauris Ceramic basket

Vintage Vallauris Ceramic Basket

Origin: Vallauris, France

Like a basket, but make it couture.

This charming mid-century ceramic piece hails from the legendary pottery town of Vallauris, a French Riviera hotspot known for its clay-rich soil, Picasso’s ceramics phase, and a flair for making even the humble basket feel like a Riviera socialite.

Dressed in a sumptuous green glaze with a dramatic twisted handle, it’s equal parts practical and theatrical. Yes, you could pop your keys or a few wrapped sweets in it, but we both know she’s here to make a statement, not hold your paperclips.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Sculptural silhouette with a glossy glaze that practically winks at you

• Artisan-made in the golden age of Vallauris pottery (likely 1950s–60s)

• Just the right size for a little table drama (without upstaging the wine)

A little piece of Provençal flair with big personality, perfect for the shelf, the sideboard, or anywhere that could use a touch of “darling, where did you get that?”

Approx Dimensions: H16.5cm × W13cm

One-of-a-kind, Riviera-born, and ready to charm.

With Love,

EWS xx
