I hope this is in the right place?
I got this a couple of years ago and have just found out Albert Thiry was based in Vallauris in the 1960's
Born in 1932 in Nice and passed over in Oct 2009 in Vallauris

I dont think thats quite how he made them its more akin to the way of putting the letters in a stick of rock IMO

thats an unusual Thiry very nice

The first piece I had ever seen. I enjoyed it so much I hung it in the shop and the amount of interest was so much that I kept it When there is so much interest in a piece, I know it will sell in the future, so now is my time to enjoy it.

Bought this is a junk market sale this weekend, I had never heard of Vallauris. Is this genuine do you think, only a written mark, really shiny almost pearl like. Any information appreciated. Cost £1.

I bought 7 boxes of absolute rubbish at an auction last week because I noticed two of these ashtrays in there.

The back

limited edition of 500?

I have seen the ones with birds sell at auction but they varied from £400 to over 2 grand??

One of mine (but framed?) was bid up to £800 at Bonhams last Septemer so the buyer paid £992.

I am looking for any information on a terracotta pot with a makers mark on the side. The mark is an oval with "Vallaruis" & "Made in France" inside and an 8 under and to the left of the oval. The pot's dimensions are 5" high and 9.5" wide. As far as I can best describe this pot is a cross between a bean pot and a Confit pot without the handle.

I am looking for the maker of the pot and what it is worth. Thank you for any information you might have.

Robert Perot and Dominique Baudart

This is one of my favourites. It's clearly signed to the base but I can't make head nor tail of the signature.









Stands 14cm high, rim diameter just over 10cm. It looks like the under glaze is brown with a slightly foamy white glaze over that and the blue design painted over, opposing flowers and a circular design like 3 faces on top of oneanother. The whole thing gives it a mottled effect, as if it grew out of the ground rather than being made. It's lovely, one of my favourites.
I bought it from Germany, but it could come from anywhere I suppose and I can't make any start on the signature. As always any help would be greatly appreciated.

one of these is on Dickinson's real deal at the moment valued £1100-£1500

sold for £750

Not a programme I watch but I'll see if I can see it on my "on demand" feature. Thanks for letting me know.

it was a plate with the same design it had the same marks as yours tho there was some discussion that it might be a fake.unlike yours the clay colour was not visible either a glazed over foot or a strange white clay

another picault

this piece of Picault arrived today,the decoration is superb but the lid is a very poor fit,in fact it's so poor I'm wondering if it belongs to the pot?

it does seema bit big but quality control wasnt all that good. Yesterday i saw a Picault signed with the full name that had a huge chip out of the side due to a bit of plaster in the clay it had still been glazed and fired on top!!
