Rare red glazed stoneware vase, Vallauris, circa 1950
This glazed stoneware vase has an exceptional red hue, a relatively rare shade in the work of Robert Picault, known mainly for his shades of green and brown typical of Vallauris. This deep, luminous, flamboyant color gives the object a remarkable presence. The vase's slender, organic silhouette is emblematic of the artist's work, combining sobriety of line with richness of material. The glaze reveals subtle drips and variations, testifying to the artisanal firing and meticulous care taken with each piece.
A close friend of Palo Picasso, Robert Picault was an active player in the revival of ceramics on the French Riviera.
