AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Bottle-shaped vase by French ceramicist Clément Massier (1844-1917), one of the pioneers of metallic luster glaze and a key figure in French Art Nouveau ceramics.

The rounded body flows into a long, slender neck with a trumpet-shaped opening. The iridescent luster glaze shimmers in green, gold, bronze, and purple, changing dramatically with the light. Around the body are clover leaves in gold luster, a typical Art Nouveau nature motif.

Marked on the underside: stamped “Clément Massier Golfe Juan” and a painted CM monogram.

Dimensions: height 31 cm, diameter 17 cm
Date: ca. 1890-1910

Condition: good, consistent with age. Small chip on the foot rim. Crazing in the glaze inside the mouth, with a few small glaze flakes. Light surface scratches on the neck and body. No cracks or restoration observed. See photos for a complete view.

Will be carefully packaged and shipped insured.
