Marius Giuge for Vallauris - Oyster Plate

Enhance your collection with this richly glazed French majolica oyster plate handcrafted by renowned artisan Marius Giuge in Vallauris, France, circa 1950s. Known for its legacy in traditional pottery, the Provençal village of Vallauris became a global hub for ceramics when Picasso resided there in the mid-20th century. These vintage Vallauris oyster plates are a stunning example of the region’s celebrated artistry.

Each plate features a classic mid-century French design with six outer wells for oysters and a central well for lemon or mignonette sauce. The richly layered glaze showcases a dramatic deep eggplant base adorned with swirling tones of white, lavender, and plum, finished with a distinctive dark blue rope border—hallmarks of Giuge’s signature style.

Marked "Marius Giuge Artisan Potier Vallauris" on the back, these collectible plates are perfect for connoisseurs of vintage French ceramics, majolica collectors, or anyone seeking a bold, authentic statement piece for their table or wall display.
