Vallauris is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region in southeastern France and has been home to over 100 artisan potters. Picasso moved there and re-invigorated the industry, after the Second World War. Particularly well known for its colourful but practical Culinary Wares. A community of independent potters has existed there since the 17th Century. Pieces are frequently unsigned and are difficult to attribute
