"Vallauris Ceramic Vase"
Spectacular, due to its height exceeding 1 meter and its extravagant decor.This vase is eccentric, baroque and fantasy style.
This decorative trend developed from the Universal Exhibition of 1937.
Ceramic vase in the shape of an amphora.
A belly decorated with rectangles formed by four diamonds, widening towards a broad shoulder composed of a succession of moldings. The same decor for the very high neck where the rim flares out on either side forming the dense hair of caryatids resembling sirens who make use of handles. Ceramic with shades of green and brown
. Vase in good condition. Note: an old collage on the arm of a caryatid (see photo)
It is easy to date this piece between 1936 and 1940 given the mark under the COPC vase
The mark under the vase: COPC: Coopérative Ouvrière de Production de Ceramic.
A cooperative founded and managed solely by workers. It has a very short existence between 1936 and 1940, which corresponds to a period of crisis in the production of Vallauris ceramics;
I did not find any information concerning the artists who worked in the cooperative during this short period. Height: 102 cm Width: 43 cm
