Vallauris, ceramic coffee service

Dimensions: * saucer diameter: 13 cm * cup height: 7 cm * cup diameter: 6.5 cm description: this ceramic service consists of six coffee cups and eleven matching saucers. The pieces feature flamboyant enameling in warm tones, ranging from deep brown to incandescent orange, typical of vallauris productions from the 1950s-1970s. The effect of drips and transitions between colors gives a dynamic and artisanal aesthetic to the whole. The simple but elegant shapes highlight the enamel work, while the well-proportioned handles of the cups offer a comfortable grip. Attribution: this service is signed vallauris, a mecca of french ceramics in the mid-20th century. Vallauris is famous for its utilitarian and decorative ceramics, often marked by brilliant enamels and organic patterns. This type of decoration, with its play of flames and burnt tones, corresponds to the style of many workshops active at this time.
