vallauris i think, but can't work out the signature Vallau11

can anyone help me identify the artist for these dishes? there is an impressed mark which looks like Vallauris, and above that, i believe Cerenne. But i cannot for the life of me make out who the artist might be.

Cerenne is an abbreviation for Charles Rene Neveux, who was operating 1945 - 58.

I think it says (in French) hand decorated and then You and Me (Toi et moi), which I guess would be the pattern name. The initials must be decorators marks, but I don't think it is CRN himself.

55 people working at Cerrenne in the 50s after CRN it was run by rene grout then robert grout closed in 1994 no idea of the designers name they may even have sold blanks

that site has developed since I last looked and there is a plate by the same designer as yours but no link betwween the list of people who worked there and the pieces the prices are 'in your dreams' this guy is doing a good job pushing up vallauris prices but look at the list of what he wants to buy to see the valuble vallauris makers

where is that list? My French is not too good

click on 'achat vente' then look at the bottom of the page' achat en permanence 'they are not all Vallauris

Plus the fact that the site talks about Jean Austruy who apparently died in the 90's. Strange as he was alive and well a couple of months ago! Spoke to him on the phone but didnt mention that he was supposed to be dead! A real lesson in getting your facts right. vallauris i think, but can't work out the signature 212118
