Robert Picault Vase in French Red Enamel Stoneware Vallauris Côte-d'Azur 1950

This glazed stoneware vase features an exceptional red hue, a relatively rare shade in the work of Robert Picault, known primarily for his shades of green and brown typical of Vallauris. This flamboyant, deep and luminous color gives the object a remarkable presence. The slender and organic silhouette of the vase is emblematic of the artist's work, combining the sobriety of the lines with the richness of the material. The glaze reveals subtle drips and variations, testifying to the artisanal firing and the meticulous care given to each piece. A close friend of Palo Picasso, Robert Picault was an active player in the revival of ceramics on the French Riviera. From a private collection.
