Mid-Century Vallauris Green Glazed Bowl w/ Black Twisted Rope Detail, 15¼"

This striking Vallauris bowl features a rich green / blue glaze with a textured center that adds depth and visual interest. The bowl's most distinctive element is the bold black twisted ceramic rope that wraps around the rim, creating a dramatic contrast with the glossy green surface. This combination of texture, color, and sculptural detailing gives the bowl a dynamic and eye-catching appeal. 

Vallauris pottery, particularly from the mid-20th century, became renowned for its innovative designs and artistic approach. Located in the south of France, Vallauris attracted prominent artists such as Pablo Picasso, who influenced the region's ceramic renaissance. The pottery from this period is celebrated for pushing the boundaries of traditional ceramic techniques, incorporating bold shapes, vivid glazes, and experimental textures.

This bowl would serve beautifully as a statement piece in a modern or eclectic décor. It can be used as a centerpiece on a dining or coffee table, a catch-all tray in an entryway, or even displayed on a shelf to highlight its sculptural form. The contrasting colors and textures make it a versatile yet striking addition to any space, adding both artistic flair and functional elegance.

Note: There is a minor repair on one part of the rope underneath as shown in photos.
