- Atelier CALLIS
The Callis Workshop, operating from 1946 to 1948, embodies the beginnings of post-war French ceramics and marks the initial rise of Vallauris in this field. Founded by Roger Capron and Robert Picault, this workshop represents a significant milestone in the history of French ceramics. Located in Vallauris, a leading center for ceramics in France, the Callis workshop played a crucial role in shaping the style and aesthetics of contemporary ceramics. Capron and Picault, visionaries of their time, produced a diverse range of remarkable pieces, from tiles to vases to sculptures.
This ceramic bowl, adorned with a relief frieze decoration, features a milky white enamel exterior and a speckled blue interior, showcasing the duo's early craftsmanship.
It is marked "CALLIS FRANCE" with the workshop's emblem under the base.
A visible chip is shown in the photos.
