Large Enamelled Ceramic Plate By Robert Picault From Vallauris – 1950sThe description of this item has been automatically translated. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Large oval enameled ceramic dish made in Vallauris in the 1950s by Robert Picault.
This piece presents one of the ceramist\'s characteristic decorations: rhythmic composition of spirals covered with a deep green enamel, alternating with geometric zigzag friezes in cobalt blue and brown, applied to metallic oxides.
The large wing is entirely decorated with continuous spirals, framing a slightly modeled central pool which accentuates the relief and dynamics of the decoration. The reverse, cream enameled, bears the hand-painted monogram “PR”, one of the artist\'s signatures.
