A very elegant zoomorphic rooster-shaped pitcher, a work by Roger Capron (1922-2006), made in Vallauris around 1955.
This emblematic piece of the post-war revival of Vallauris ceramics is distinguished by the quality of its modeling and the balance of its proportions. The nuanced white glaze subtly reveals a bluish background, giving the piece depth and luminosity. The base is delicately decorated with stylized foliage in shades of blue, a characteristic motif of Capron's work in the 1950s.
A beautiful example combining decorative strength and refined execution, representative of the master ceramist's work during this period.
Condition: perfect condition, without chips, cracks, or restoration.
Period: circa 1955
Origin: Vallauris, France
