Standing at the intersection of functional object and sculpture, it embodies the modernist spirit that transformed Vallauris into the epicenter of ceramic creation in the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe piece is distinguished by a luminous white glaze that serves as a canvas for a powerful graphic composition. The hand-painted geometric motif blends the rigor of abstract black lines with a touch of vibrant orange enamel, creating a chromatic contrast typical of the era's mid-century modernism. Its slender silhouette and generous handle testify to Robert Auguste’s technical mastery at the potter’s wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Auguste (1922–1991) \u0026amp; Gyn Gausserand (1932–2018)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/b\u003e Circa 1955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e Vallauris, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/b\u003e White glazed earthenware, black and orange geometric decor on a red clay body\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 23 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMarking:\u003c\/b\u003e Bearing the workshop monogram under the base: “RGA”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Excellent original condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Eye of Studio Cinquante\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat fascinated us about this piece is the striking dialogue between its organic form—with a glossy glaze that offers an almost sensual haptic quality—and the radical, almost brutalist nature of its graphics.
