Roger Capron tobacco pot "suns" decor in French ceramic Vallauris 1950

The tobacco pot is a French tradition that dates back centuries. Used to preserve tobacco and facilitate its use, the tobacco pot has become an emblematic object of French culture. Over time, the French sought more practical and aesthetic ways to preserve their tobacco. Richly decorated, these pots were available in different sizes and shapes to suit the needs of every smoker. They were often decorated with floral motifs, hunting scenes or royal portraits. The tobacco pot was then an object of prestige and refinement. This one adorned with "suns" with its cork stopper is one of the extremely rare pieces to find, produced by Roger Capron.
