... perhaps tenpot you have revealed another possibility ... supposing the mark is not 'veral' but a wierd 'French' way of writing 'Va-al'? Meaning VA for Vallauris ... and AL for ALLIX???

... just thought ...

by **tenpot** September 30th 2018, 3:29 pm

its Verol he worked with Allix

by **touchdry** September 30th 2018, 3:36 pm

Great ... I'll go with that .... thanks tenpot. I cannot find any info on Verol ... does he or she have a surname?

by **tenpot** September 30th 2018, 3:42 pm

by **touchdry** September 30th 2018, 3:46 pm

Baudart (Dominique)

Installé à Vallauris en 1952, il travaille d'abord avec Jean Rivier, puis au Vieux Moulin avec Malarmey et Perot. Enfin, s'installe seul. Roger Collet reprend son atelier en 1963, ce qui correspond probablement au départ de Baudart pour Die, dans la Drôme, où il continue son activité de céramiste.

or in other words

Settled in Vallauris in 1952, he worked first with Jean Rivier, then at the Vieux Moulin with Malarmey and Perot. Finally, settles alone. Roger Collet takes up his studio in 1963, which probably corresponds to the departure of Baudart for Die, in the Drôme, where he continues his pottery business

This is by the same pottery, it's one of the best Vallauris sun faces I have seen.
I love to imagine Vallauris in the '50s when Capron and Picasso were in their prime and potters were all being inspired and influenced by each other's ideas.

I've wanted one of these, with a decent shade, for probably a decade or more. Now that I have one I'm thinking that I don't need/want any more ceramics.
That's a scary thought, and one that I've never had before.
Fortunately I'm getting on a bit and will probably have forgotten in the morning.

you just haven't seen the next great piece Steve.

by **dantheman** September 15th 2020, 5:46 pm

so how does that shade fix to the lamp holder?

by **slopingsteve** September 15th 2020, 8:02 pm

It has a wire circle to go over the lamp holder and the three legs attached to the bottom of the shade. It is the same principle as any other except the legs are of different lengths.

PS it's a bit wobbly, after sailing from France, but easy enough to sort out.

Le Vaucour Cup and saucer:
How can you tell whether an artist is a genius or a charlatan?
Does it matter if you like their work?
Does it reflect on your own critical faculties?
Does it matter?

there is a lot of space between genius and charlatan

by **slopingsteve** March 4th 2021, 10:27 am

Often time and attitude, rather than space; often the same person's work seen through (what would have been) sepia-tinted glasses.
