Vallauris (South of France)

its true my first thought was that the handled pot would not have a top

I've got a handled pot with a lid not all that different (not Robert Picault or even French), I would be inclined to think it is "right", but of poor quality potting.

I've got a jar by another maker where the lid (correct lid) will almost fall in the pot, as the potting is that poor.

Paul just found another one on French ebay so it is right

Here's a large Gerbino bowl made in 2001, for me it lacks the studio look of the earlier pieces, the colours are dull and lifeless and I doubt Jean would have approved (sorry Yvan)

Hi, bought this a while ago. It has a gold foil label on it that says Vallauris. Looks to be a signature but I can not make it out. The surface is as rough as can be (as a picture is worth a 1000 words......LOL). This is about 7 inches tall, and about 5 inches wide at the widest point.






Does anyone know what year this is from, and who the maker (signature) is?

Thanks

probably 60s can't find the signature for the moment, I see these quite often

grandjean jourdan 60s

Is it typical Vallauris to imitate the wooden texture?
I'm asking because I've found several pieces with this kind of texture, signed Vallauris.

mostly the grandjean joudan pottery tho there are some copiers . Matt finish for 50s pieces shiny glaze for 60s and brightly coloured interiors for 70s

Hi there

This is one of my favourite ceramics, bought at one of the most insignificant car boot sales I have ever been to. I love it.

its roger not jean nice piece

was it a fiver?

Thanks for pointing that out! I realised my error as soon as I'd posted my reply. What a dumbo!! Not sure where I got Jean from.
I love everything about this piece. The glaze, the shape, the colours, and the fish itself. No, it wasn't a fiver. If I remember rightly it was 50p.

Does anyone know the years of production, and if there are any other variations of this design?

Thanks

I know it's valuable
