Vallauris is a pottery region in south-eastern France, near Cannes. Pottery has been made there since ancient times. The area grew as a pottery centre in the late 19th century, and many companies have flourished there since then, notably those of Massier and Foucard-Jourdan.
Modern Vallauris is lead-glazed earthenware, often highly coloured; the Mediterranean location sometimes showing its influence. Domestic tableware and cooking pots feature prominently.
In 1948, Picasso moved to Vallauris, where he remained until 1955. During these years, he produced numerous sculptures and paintings including War and Peace, one of the major works of this period. He also embarked on an intense ceramic production, renewing and profoundly upsetting the creative language in this field.
