Description from the seller
Magnificent Jean Gerbino (Vallauris) - Mosaic Ceramic Vase - Neriage Technique - France, circa 1950
A very fine and authentic handmade ceramic vase from the famous French master ceramicist Jean Gerbino (1876–1966), produced in the renowned pottery town Vallauris, France.
Gerbino gained worldwide fame for his unique and extremely labor-intensive neriage technique (clay mosaic). This specific model features a sought-after design and is equipped with the characteristic geometric diamond band around the body. Each vase is, due to the manual assembly of the mosaic pieces, an absolutely unique work of art.
Height: 12 cm
Origin: Vallauris, France
Marking on the bottom: Fully marked with the original incised signature "Gerbino" and bearing the oval studio stamp "Gerbino Vallauris (AM)". The foot ring also has the distinctive open-work mosaic circle.
Condition: In good, display-case-worthy condition with a beautiful glaze. On the inside of the upper rim there is a small chip, a superficial spot in the mosaic (see detail photo). This hardly detracts from the decorative value of this collector’s item.
This object is carefully, solidly and professionally packed and shipped with track & trace.
