This glazed ceramic plate is an iconic work by Robert Picault, one of the leading figures of post-war French modernist ceramics. Produced in Vallauris in the 1950s, it features a stylised figurative decoration depicting a bird surrounded by floral motifs, rendered in a striking cobalt blue and white palette.
The composition perfectly reflects Picault’s distinctive visual language: bold outlines, simplified forms and a refined balance between abstraction and figuration. The glossy glaze enhances the depth of the blue and gives the piece a strong decorative presence.
