Blocks (moulds) for printed ceramic plates. Madoura pottery, Vallauris 1961

Sunlight streams into the Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris, 1961, casting a dramatic interplay of light and shadow. In the foreground, blocks, or moulds, for printed ceramic plates rest on the rough brick floor. The raised bas-relief designs on the thick plaster plaques, including a horse's head and floral motifs, are caught by the light. Above, rough-hewn wooden beams serve as simple shelves, holding finished ceramic pieces that recede into the darkness.
