about the designer :: Maurel, Rene

Rene Maurel was a trained painter who became a ceramicist of extraordinary talent. He trained with Louis Giraud before setting up his own atelier in 1955 and started to create pottery that was known for unusual glazes and decorations. He was awarded a special prize for faience at the Vallauris Biennale of 1966. Francois Raty also trained under his tutelage.
