Bio:
Ceramics from Vallauris in southern France gained strong international recognition in the post-war era, especially in the 1950s-70s, when both local workshops and international artists such as Picasso worked in the town. Giraud was among the notable makers, producing decorative and sculptural household objects that blended functionality with artistic expression.
