About the Item

Mid-century French Ceramic Large plate by Marcel Giraud - Vallauris - 1960s Enamaled and decorated with vegetal motifs in brown and ochre tones Signed under the base " Giraud". Circa 1960-1970. Unique piece. In very good condition ----------- Marcel Giraud, French ceramist, settled in the 1950s in Vallauris, village known for its ceramics and boomed in the 1950s by the arrival of Pablo Picasso who now also worked in pottery. Located on the Azue coast, this village becomes in this post-war period an intense place of creation where Pablo Picasso launches out in the pottery and where many artists such as Jean Cocteau, Marc Chagall, Fernand Léger mix. Roger Capron, Robert Picault, Suzanne Ramié became renowned ceramists. But pottery is above all an art of fire, so his desire for knowledge leads him to the Tolia workshop where he experimented with wood-firing, the only one at the time. He learned the alchemy of fire, the chemistry of oxides and the construction of kilns. After having worked for Argonautes and Albert Thiry, Marcel Giraud launched his own workshop in 1960. For fifteen years, he produces decorative and culinary ceramics that he signs Cardelle at first, then with his name Marcel Giraud.

Mid-Century Decorative Plate by Marcel Giraud, Ceramic, France, 1960s

By Marcel Giraud

Located in London, GB

A striking mid-century decorative plate by French ceramicist Marcel Giraud, dating from the 1960s. The design features a rustic, even-glazed centre and outer band in oatmeal tones, both accented with subtle concentric circles. Between these borders, a series of textured geometric segments form the stylised petals of a sunflower motif, lending the piece both rhythm and warmth. The rim carries a matching hue and an incised, rope-like repeating pattern, adding further visual and tactile interest. The markings and palette are characteristic of Giraud’s hand, making this a fine and representative example of his work. In good overall condition, with ‘Giraud’ incised to the underside. The reverse also includes a ceramic loop...
