Vallauris is a small town in the South of France (near Antibes) with a very strong history of pottery and probably best known for the pottery produced there by Picasso from the late 1940s through to the mid 1950s.  There would have been (and still are) a number of independent potteries in the town and it's not always possible to pin items down to a specific maker unless they're specifically marked.  These bowls take an interesting curvy organic form with a small hole/handle to one end, glazed all over with a matt coppery/black glaze and the inside of each bowl dripped with a glorious thick and foamy turquoise glaze.  Stamped to the undersides with 'Vallauris'.  A very decorative and unusual set. 

SIZE:   5.5in/13.5cm x 4.5in/11.5cm   Weight 1020g

(11-40)

Retro Ceramics - Miscellaneous
There are so many small and/or relatively unknown continental/international potteries producing items that fit so well within our brief that we simply must include them at Pips Trip. This is the section you'll find them. Some companies we've never heard of, others we have heard of but only rarely come across their items - some things aren't even marked. So this is a great section for all those pieces of crazy, retro/vintage ceramics that we can't attribute or only have a very few pieces of - it makes for very interesting browsing.

Each piece is chosen with the same criteria for inclusion as every other piece. We look at the shape, colour, style, technique, decorative appeal and, most importantly, quality. We only choose pieces we like - the funkier the better and whilst we may not know much about them we know they belong here in Pips Trip.
