Large enamelled ceramic dish le brescon in vallauris 1970

Large enameled ceramic dish signed le brescon, a ceramicist active in vallauris in the 1970s. The painted scene depicts a peasant couple in a style that is both naive and modern, typical of vallauris' artistic productions in the second half of the 20th century. The man carries a bundle of wood on his back and a purple jacket, while the woman, dressed in a patterned blue skirt and a yellow scarf, carries a scale and a basket filled with red fruits, evoking a traditional market scene. The color palette is bright, with contrasting colors (blue, yellow, red, purple), applied in thick enamel, giving a particular texture and relief to the decoration. The dish is round in shape with a slightly irregular edge and a glossy enamel finish, typical of vallauris creations. Engraved under the piece, the signature "le brescon" attests to its authenticity and its belonging to the vallauris ceramic school, famous for its artisanal and artistic productions.
