About the Item

This is a ceramic chocolate pot crafted by Robert Picault in Vallauris during the 1950s. Known for his distinctive designs, this piece features Picault’s signature grid pattern with geometric motifs, hand-painted in earthy tones of white and terracotta. Its curved body, elongated spout, and sturdy handle reflect both functionality and elegance. The lid's pointed finial completes the pot’s balanced design. Picault’s mastery in blending traditional forms with modern aesthetics is evident in this piece, making it a collector’s delight. Robert Picault (1919–2000) was a celebrated French ceramist based in Vallauris. He gained fame for his utilitarian pottery, characterized by minimalist geometric decorations and natural glazes. Picault collaborated with artists like Picasso, helping Vallauris become a global hub for ceramics. His work remains iconic in mid-century design. Perfect condition. More information Upon Request.
