CIBOURE - Vilotte period - Lot 510

CIBOURE - Vilotte period Enameled stoneware DINOS OR IEBES with neo-Greek rotating decoration of figures carrying fruit bowls and milking a goat. Stamped mark on reverse. circa 1930 Height: 22.5 cm A model to be compared with the work of decorative painter Pierre Almès (1880-1944), who worked under the direction of Etienne Vilotte from 1924. With a style that Severine Berger describes as "quite firm (...) with well-accentuated movements that nonetheless remain harmonious (...), most of Pierre Almès' work is unsigned. On the other hand, we can link this piece to the painter's decorative registers with his productions from 1925 in the Vallauris region, and in particular from the BACS workshop, some of whose pieces are reproduced in Edgar Pelichet's La céramique Art Déco.
