Detailed Description
Superb Art Nouveau ceramic piece by Clément Massier (1844-1917), the famous French ceramicist from Vallauris, known for his iridescent glazes. This work depicts a decorative boat with two figures, probably children or cherubs, dressed in gathered garments, one holding an oar and the other a fish. The boat is adorned with a texture reminiscent of fishing nets or waves, accentuating its playful nautical theme. The bright turquoise glaze, characteristic of Massier, reflects his award-winning talent at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris.
The inscription 'Clément Massier Golfe Juan AM' on the base authenticates the piece, confirming its provenance from Massier's workshop in Golfe-Juan. Measuring 37 cm in length, 22 cm in height, and 14 cm in width, this work is in good condition, with minor signs of wear such as brown stains and scratches, typical of an old piece well preserved. No major damage is visible except a small ceramic chip on the stern of the boat.
