French Ceramic Pitcher by Arlette Roux, 1954

$1,400.00

A 1950s ceramic pitcher by French ceramist Arlette Roux, handmade in Vallauris—the picturesque seaside village in the South of France renowned for its pottery.

The sculptural, double-bulb form is finished in an expressive, high-gloss glaze: deep cobalt and inky black drift across the body, framed by swathes of rosy terracotta. A sinuous handle echoes the organic movement of the surface.

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 1950s

MATERIALS: Ceramic

CONDITION: Great vintage condition with faint chips along the rim and minor glaze imperfections inherent to the firing process. Signed 'A. Roux 54' on the underside.
