Vintage Vallauris Elongated Ceramic Dish in Yellow Glaze - 10¾"

This charming Vallauris ceramic dish, signed Beretta Vallauris, features a distinctive elongated shape with a soft yellow glaze, exuding a rustic yet sophisticated appeal. The raised pearl décor along the rim, highlighted by subtle hints of brown, adds depth and texture, enhancing its vintage charm. The glaze’s delicate crackle finish further testifies to its age and artisanal craftsmanship, making it a true testament to the rich ceramic heritage of Vallauris. The dish showcases a timeworn patina, with slight wear along the edges that adds authenticity and character, suggesting a well-loved past. 

The Beretta workshop, like many in Vallauris, contributed to the town’s renowned pottery tradition, which flourished in the mid-20th century, attracting notable artists such as Picasso and Jean Derval. Vallauris became a hub for innovative ceramics, blending traditional craftsmanship with artistic experimentation, and Beretta’s work reflects this legacy through its elegant yet functional designs.

Perfect for serving small appetizers, displaying fruit, or as a stylish kitchen accent, this piece seamlessly blends practicality with French elegance. A similar dish is available, offering the opportunity to create a matching pair for a harmonious, curated display—whether on a dining table, sideboard, or open shelving.
