Suzanne Ramié
Pitcher, c. 1945

Earthenware, yellow glaze with dark brown bloom. H. 27 cm. Base marked: Workshop mark MADOURA PLEIN FEU (impressed).
Suzanne Ramié, trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, and her husband Georges Ramié acquired a disused ceramics factory in Vallauris, which they ran under the name Madoura. Madoura, the acronym for 'Maison Douly Ramié', opened in 1938 and is now particularly known as the producer of ceramics by Pablo Picasso. Suzanne Ramié, née Douly, learned the art of ceramic glaze making from the long-established Vallauris ceramicist Jean-Baptiste Chiapello and is one of the key artistic figures in the avant-garde ceramics of the post-war period. Ramié combined the aesthetics of traditional Provençal utilitarian ceramics with a modern, contemporary design language. In 1948, a close collaboration began with Pablo Picasso, who used, among other things, design concepts by Suzanne Ramié.
