Roger Capron, Striped Ceramic Vase, Vallauris, circa 1960s

This dynamic vase by French ceramist Roger Capron was created in the 1960s in Vallauris, a hub for postwar ceramic art. Featuring his iconic flared silhouette, the piece is adorned with vertical stripes in vivid hues—orange, blue, mustard, black, and white—creating a bold, rhythmic composition.

Capron’s use of hand-applied glaze and vibrant color reflects his unique ability to bridge craft and modernism. With its playful palette and elegant form, this vase is a standout example of Capron’s mid-century aesthetic, and a highly collectible decorative object.
