Speckled stoneware orangeade service signed FARAH (Vallauris, 19th century)

Speckled Stoneware Orangeade Set signed FARAH (Vallauris, 1960s-1970s) It comprises a pitcher/carafe (height: 29 cm) and five tumblers (15 cm).

The tumblers are tall and slightly flared, with walls that may be slightly undulating, indicating hand-thrown pottery. Pieces signed "Farah" most likely come from the Farah workshop in Vallauris, France. Vallauris is a town in the South of France (Alpes-Maritimes) renowned worldwide for its ceramic tradition, which experienced a golden age after the Second World War with the arrival of numerous artists, including Picasso. The pottery of Vallauris from the 1950s to the 1970s is known for its rustic style, thick clay, and frequent use of stoneware and glazed earthenware. This collection of "speckled stoneware" or "pyrite" type pieces perfectly reflects the aesthetic and period of this utilitarian, handcrafted production.
