CAMART Raymond (1908 – 1980)

French ceramicist Raymond Camart was the son of Etienne and the grandson of Guillaume Camart, both sculptors.

Towards the end of the war, he was a foreman at the “electroceramic” factory in Golf-Juan where he created moulds to produce ceramics, for example perfume bottles. He moved to a workshop in Vallauris around 1945, then opened a manufacturing plant in Mougins. Finally, in the early 1950s, he created a new workshop in Antibes as well as an exhibition center in the form of a miniature village to house his creations.

A businessman and an artist and always looking for originality, in shapes and decorations, he embellishes even everyday objects. This vase form, signed and numbered is his most prized collectable.
