Around 1950: Zoomorphic ceramics in Vallauris

Ceramic sitting cat figurine, covered in a deep, glossy green glaze, characteristic of Vallauris productions. The fur is finely textured in relief, with wavy patterns that mimic real fur, and the expressive face features large, hand-painted eyes. The piece bears an incised "VALLAURIS" stamp under the base, authenticating its origin from this famous ceramic town in the south of France, known for its artisanal production since the 19th century. A decorative object, perfect for lovers of vintage French ceramics or to add a twist to a shelf. Condition: very good vintage condition, with slight signs of use consistent with its age (small chips on the glaze, visible in the photos on the back of the paw and behind the cat's cheek). Era: circa 1950-1960. Dimensions: Height: 16 cm (6.3 in) / Base: 11.5 cm X 9 cm (4.5 in X 3.5 in).
