Striking Colorful Vase with Twisted Pale Blue Gilded Handles Signed Vallauris 1950 - 9"

This vibrant vase, signed by a potter from Vallauris and dating to 1950, features striking twisted pale blue handles with a gilded finish. Vallauris, a small town in the South of France, became a hub of pottery and ceramic art in the mid-20th century, gaining international fame largely due to the work of artists like Pablo Picasso, who worked there in the 1940s and 1950s. The region's artisans embraced bold forms and innovative designs, blending traditional techniques with modern aesthetics. This vase reflects the lively and creative spirit that defines Vallauris pottery from this era. Note: Small repair on lower part.
