History of the Vallauris pottery industry:
Vallauris’ ceramic heritage has flourished over the centuries, nurtured by the abundant clay deposits hidden beneath its golden valley. The town’s evolution reads like an exquisite narrative, spanning across various epochs – from the humble beginnings of crafting culinary pottery in ancient times to the efflorescence of ceramics during the 19th century. However, it was the vibrant and transformative 1950s that ushered in Vallauris’ golden age, drawing luminaries such as the legendary Pablo Picasso, who chose to make this idyllic village their artistic sanctuary.
The profound impact of Picasso’s residency in Vallauris cannot be overstated. His presence ignited an artistic renaissance, attracting a constellation of talents including Jean Marais and others to the warm embrace of Vallauris. Picasso’s profound fascination with ceramics, stoked by the incredible malleability of clay and the mystical alchemy of firing, breathed new life into this age-old craft. The hallowed grounds of the Madoura ceramic studio became his personal canvas, where he unleashed a torrent of creativity. Many other ceramic artist followed including those who created this stylish ceramic table lamp in the style of Georges Pelletier. less
