This pitcher, signed by Alexandre Kostanda, is an emblematic piece of Vallauris French glazed stoneware, dating from the 1940s. The reputation of Vallauris on the Côte d'Azur has attracted many artists and craftsmen, and Kostanda is one of the designers who has captured the spirit of his era through colorful, refined works. This pitcher features unique patterns and a glazed finish that reflects the warmth and character of the region. It embodies not only the local craftsmanship of the period, but also the dynamic lifestyle of the French Riviera. An ideal collector's item for art lovers and ceramics enthusiasts, this pitcher combines aesthetics and functionality, while telling a piece of French art history.
Like Roger Capron, Alexandre Kostanda is very active in Vallauris in defending and promoting ceramic art.
Alexandre Kostanda exhibited and exported his work to the United States between 1950 and 1960.
