Roger Capron, Ceramic Vase, Vallauris, circa 1960s

This sculptural ceramic vase was designed by renowned French ceramist Roger Capron in the 1960s, in Vallauris, the historic center of post-war ceramic innovation in the South of France. With its flared, hourglass form and richly patterned surface, the piece reflects Capron’s distinctive style—where graphic rhythm meets architectural volume.

The black-and-white motif, meticulously incised and glazed, exemplifies Capron’s interest in both traditional craftsmanship and modernist abstraction. Elegant yet bold, this vase stands as both a decorative object and a collectible piece of mid-century French design.

Capron's work has been exhibited internationally and remains highly sought after for its timeless charm and refined artistry.
