LE VAUCOUR FRUIT
JUICE SERVICE SET
Carafe and 6 glasses, ceramic

Made in Vallauris France

At the start of the twentieth century, as in other French pottery centers, culinary
pottery began to decline, with competition from metal containers. The economic
crisis at the end of the 1930s, and the arrival of more suitable materials
(aluminum, cast iron, stainless steel, etc.) took pottery away from its
utilitarian function and began, towards the end ofthe 1940s, a very different

development: ceramics
artistic.
This artistic movement is
present from the end of the
nineteenth century with the
Massier family. Clément,
Delphin and Jérôme
introduced colored enamels
and metallic pigments into
their ceramics.
In 1930, Jean Gerbino
(1876-1966) opened a
workshop in which he
created numerous pottery

pieces by applying his
unique mosaic process of
colored earths. But it was in
1947, with the arrival of
Picasso and his astonishing
ceramic production carried
out at the Madoura
workshop, that the image of
Vallauris as a traditional
pottery center definitively
gave way to that of a city
where artists rub shoulders
and artisans.
