Mid Century Vallauris Ceramic Fish Dish

This striking piece is a mid-century vintage ceramic fish plate from Vallauris, France. Known for its bold, expressive designs, Vallauris pottery gained international fame in the mid-20th century, particularly after Pablo Picasso began working with local potters there. The glaze is often categorized as “Fat Lava” or French Majolica due to its thick, dynamic, and flowing drip glazes. Featuring a rich brown base with vibrant red, orange, and white glazed accents that create a textured, shell-like appearance.
