Roger Capron Pitcher

Ceramic Pitcher by Roger Capron – Vallauris, France This pitcher is an iconic piece of work by Roger Capron, one of the great masters of 20th-century French ceramics, based in Vallauris. Capron marked the revival of artisanal ceramics in the 1950s and 1960s, infusing modernity and refinement into everyday objects. The piece has an organic, elegantly curved shape with a wide, sculptural handle that offers both comfort and aesthetics. The body of the pitcher is finely decorated with engraved vertical lines that highlight Capron's mastery of textures and reliefs. These lines bring a subtle dynamic, contrasting harmoniously with the softness of the glaze. The matte glaze, slightly nuanced, gives the surface a tactile and warm appearance, while evoking the natural hues of the earth. This type of glaze, often used by Capron, highlights craftsmanship while offering a timeless modernity. This pitcher is not simply a utilitarian object, but a true work of art, testifying to the creative genius of Roger Capron, whose work continues to inspire collectors and design enthusiasts around the world. It will find its place perfectly in an art collection as well as on a table, combining beauty and functionality. This pitcher reflects all of Capron's technical and artistic mastery, as well as his love for simple and refined forms that pay homage to the artisanal traditions of Vallauris.
