Height 32cm, diameter 8 cm at the base Signature Capron Vallauris has said... CAPRON Roger (1922-2006) Professor at the Applied Arts, Capron focuses first on the drawing. He discovered the work of ceramics in Vallauris before Picasso, and created the workshop Callis with Robert Picault. He founded his own workshop in 1952 and sells its collections to the United States at the Saks Fifth Avenue store. He received awards in many international exhibitions in Milan, Brussels, Cannes... From 1963, he gradually abandoned the shaped parts for decorative tiles used in architecture: wall panels, building lobbies, stores. From the early 1980s, he turned to unique pieces and Raku sculptures. Bibliography: "the French ceramics of the 1950s" by Pierre Staudenmeyer, Norma Editions.
