Vintage French Vallauris Pottery Bowl C. Height 7,25cm, Diameter 30cm. Fine original condition with some glaze nicks around the rim. A stylish vintage French Vallauris bowl decorated with a bull fight scene in the manner of Picasso and dating from around 1950. Picasso moved to Vallauris in 1948 and lived there until 1955. He had a close working relationship with the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris. This particular bowl is certainly produced in the style of Picasso, if not by him, and stands on a narrow rounded foot with a raised rounded rim with the centre of the bowl incised and hand painted with a bull fight ring with two matadors, one holding two swords and another on horse back challenging a raging bull. A distinct figure sits in the foreground with a stylized stadium with indistinct figures in the back ground. The dish combines brightly coloured and matt black glazes on a muted grey ground. The bowl has an impressed Vallauris potters mark to the base. We cannot and will not declare items below the sale value. This item has been fully inspected in house.
