Ancient amphora vase in ceramic – Helene Ugo Vallauris

Small vintage amphora-shaped vase with two twisted handles made of Vallauris ceramic. This town in the south of France is known for its ceramic tradition passed down through generations, attracting many creators in the 20th century. Today, Vallauris remains a symbol of creativity and artisanal excellence. This piece stands out for its polychrome floral decoration on a black background, enhanced with golden details. Hélène Ugo's signature is embossed on the base, along with the SM signature. Hélène Ugo, wife of Raymond Chastagnol, has been working with her husband since 1954 in their workshop "Hélène Ugo" and in the shop "Au mortier de Provence, " later renamed "Céramiques Chastagnol." The artist specialises in decorations and objects themed around Africa.
