On offer is a rare and highly collectible hand-painted pottery jug by Fazio Vallauris, a known name within the celebrated Vallauris ceramic tradition. This bold, sculptural pitcher stands at approximately 8 inches tall and is a fantastic example of mid-century Mediterranean ceramic art.

Originating from Vallauris, France, a town renowned since Roman times for its pottery, the name “Fazio Vallauris” refers to one of the many small, skilled artisan workshops that thrived there in the 20th century—particularly during the post-war period when Vallauris pottery became globally recognized for its vibrant forms and painterly glazes. While Picasso’s involvement in Vallauris put the town on the map, many artisans like Fazio helped build its enduring legacy of bold, expressive ceramics.

This large jug features a striking geometric hand-painted design in deep green and terracotta hues on a white glaze ground. A bold cross-hatched band with criss-crossed green strokes encircles the body, interspersed with vivid polka dots. These vivid patterns are not only visually captivating, but also speak to the hand of a skilled ceramic artist working in the decorative traditions of the Vallauris region.

The base bears two impressed marks: one reading “Fazio Vallauris” and another with the number “210”, likely a form or pattern number. The base also shows expected age-related crazing, which lends authenticity and character to this vintage piece.
