This large ceramic vase from Vallauris, crafted in France during the 1960s, exemplifies the post-war studio pottery tradition of this southern French region.

In the center, a vivid patch of pink, encircled by swirling white, evokes an abstract floral or graphic motif. The signature on the base authenticates its Vallauris provenance.

The sculpted handles reflect the bold exploration of organic forms and the expressive departure from symmetry that defined the era’s ceramics. The vase can be displayed on a low sideboard or console, where its rich palette and animated surface become a
