Vallauris (South of France)

Hi,

I have a few similar matching pieces to this one, but am unsure as to origin.  I acquired it as part of a job lot at auction - there were a lot of Danish / Scandinavian items there, so I'm assuming that this is Scandinavian.  Looks a little like Upsala Ekeby white glaze on brown, but I really don't know.  All pieces are hand signed "J-I".  Any ideas?

Hi Naomi,

That was fast! I should have known - Vallauris! I wasn't thinking that way at all because of the other items that I saw at the auction.

Anyways, thanks a million for the ID!

Best regards,

Ron

This is an unusual vase with abstract decoration. The makers signature is quite indistinct, but maybe someone will recognise the style?

looks like an abstracted bird, rather than an eye?

Thanks Tenpot you have nailed it. I have now found almost identical versions of the signature in pictures of other pieces by Treinen. Thanks so much

Highly sculptural vase, 18 cm tall, nice lava glaze...

This is my third and final find yesterday, large Vallauris bowl(wash bowl/mixing bowl?), measures 45cm across with an impressed mark to the base. Can't quite read the mark. Can read Vallauris, think the bottom word is France, top word I'm not sure but looks to end in P.

Sorry uploaded the same image twice

I have just found a similar one by Gabriel Fourmaintraux as you say Vallauris

I think individual studio potteres deserve their own thread

no other potteries are lumped together on one thread due to location it could be a gradual process leaving the vallauris thread as it is but forming new ones
