Pair Of Louis Sicard Vases With Handles

Pair of amphora-shaped vases made by Louis Sicard himself (1871-1946), descendant of a family of ceramists and founder in 1895 of the eponymous pottery factory, in Aubagne. He is known for having decorated all his pieces with the Provençal tradition and especially with the famous cicadas which made his reputation. Appreciated by celebrities ranging from Queen Victoria to Frédéric Mistral via Jean Jaurès or Gaston Doumergue, it was then copied by other ceramists throughout the south of the country, from Uzes to Marseille and even Vallauris. The activity of the Sicard house continues today. The top of the foot has been glued on one of the vases.
