Pots by Robert Picault

Pair of Tripod Lidded Pots by Robert Picault, Vallauris

A striking pair of glazed ceramic lidded pots by French ceramist Robert Picault, in a deep glossy red glaze. Each pot rests on three conical tripod feet, with twin curved handles and a domed lid finished with a trumpet-shaped finial — a bold, sculptural silhouette characteristic of the Vallauris pottery tradition.

Dimensions: H 31 cm x Ø 34 cm

About the artist
Robert Picault (1919–2000) was a leading French ceramist of the Vallauris pottery movement, where he founded the Atelier Callis with Roger Capron in 1946. A close friend and neighbor of Picasso, Picault helped revive traditional culinary ceramic forms with his distinctive glazed, geometric style, and his pieces remain highly sought after by collectors today.
