About the Item

This pitcher, crafted by André Martin in Vallauris during the 1950s, exemplifies the mid-century modern aesthetic of the French ceramic movement. It features a sleek, minimalist silhouette with clean, elegant lines. Made from stoneware, the piece is coated in a deep black glaze, giving it a lustrous finish that highlights its texture and form. The black glazed is very deep, created lovely black shades. The pitcher’s tapered body broadens slightly toward the top, while the base includes a subtle, integrated band adding a sense of balance and proportion. A small spout emerges naturally from the rim, designed for practicality, while the gracefully curved handle provides functionality and complements the overall form. This piece reflects André Martin’s attention to detail and his mastery of ceramics, combining utility with artistry. Vallauris was a renowned center for pottery in post-war France, and this pitcher represents the region's spirit of innovation and craftsmanship. Firmed under the base. Very good condition.
