Large slip dish decorated with fish, lobster and lemon on a black background from the Vallauris factory in the 1960s. This dish is made up of a superb lobster with 2 long antennae. Around him are lemons including a lemon cut in half and a slice of lemon, a shell, two fish, a starfish.
The lobster, with its long antennae and majestic posture, enthroned in the center of the dish, is a central figure that immediately attracts attention. It symbolizes the abundance and richness of the seabed, but also the sophistication of Mediterranean cuisine, where lobster is often considered a luxury dish.
Lemons bring a touch of freshness and vitality to the composition, with their bright colors and dynamic shape. They also recall the importance of citrus fruits in Mediterranean cuisine, where they are used to enhance the flavors of traditional dishes.
The inclusion of a shell, fish and a starfish further reinforces the immersion in this marine universe, evoking the hidden treasures of the depths and the diversity of underwater life.
Finally, the two holes on the back of the dish, intended for hanging it on the wall, underline its both functional and decorative character. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution less
