About the Item

Suzanne Ramié was a highly influential French ceramist and co‑founder of the famed Atelier Madoura in Vallauris, in the south of France. Born Suzanne Douly in 1905, she trained in decoration and ceramics at the École des Beaux‑Arts in Lyon before moving to Provence in the 1930s to pursue her artistic career. In 1938 she and her husband Georges Ramié established Atelier Madoura — the name itself an acronym derived from MAison, DOuly (her maiden name), and RAmié. This workshop became a pivotal hub for ceramic innovation, breaking away from the region’s traditional utilitarian pottery with refined sculptural pieces that emphasized bold forms and elegant glazes. A Large Vase with Two Cylindrical Necks by Ramié for Atelier Madoura reflects her unique approach to form and function, combining architectural presence with organic grace. Works like this are typically marked with the “Madoura Plein Feu” stamp on the base, indicating their origin from the studio’s wood‑fired kiln and authentic mid‑20th‑century manufacture. Such vases showcase Ramié’s ability to reinterpret traditional ceramic shapes into modern, expressive objects that function as both art and vessel. The Atelier Madoura itself rose to international prominence not only through Ramié’s own creations but also through its long collaboration with Pablo Picasso. Beginning in 1946, Picasso worked extensively at the studio, exploring ceramics as a serious artistic medium and producing thousands of pieces with the support and technical expertise of the Madoura workshop team. This collaboration helped elevate both the studio’s reputation and the broader perception of ceramics in modern art.
