Vintage Vallauris Ceramic Pitcher - French Riviera Charm with a Twist
Origin: Vallauris, France
Approx Dimensions: H19cm × W20cm
Dripping in Mediterranean charm (quite literally), this vintage ceramic pitcher hails from the sun-soaked town of Vallauris—the French Riviera’s pottery capital and Picasso’s old stomping ground.
Glazed in deep sea-green and finished with a fabulous twisted handle, she’s part sculpture, part serveware, and fully fabulous. Use her for flowers, water, or as a wildly stylish sangria vessel.
A Riviera classic with just the right amount of sass.
A Dash of History: Vallauris Ceramics in a Nutshell
Ancient roots: Clay-rich soil? Check. Pottery tradition since Roman era, with a renaissance in the 16th century thanks to Italian immigrant potters .
Golden era: 19th century, Vallauris became the go‑to for utilitarian yet stylish kitchenware and ceramics
Star-studded revival: After WWII, Picasso moved in, turning Vallauris into a global ceramics capital alongside suavity‑savvy artists like Chagall, Miró, Capron, and Valentin
Still alive today: Though only a handful of potters keep the flame burning, Vallauris remains synonymous with beautifully glazed, sun-drenched forms that merge art and utility .
Condition: A few little chips? Mais oui. She’s got a past… and impeccable taste. (as seen in final image, beauty marks, really).
With Love,
