AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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

The tapered form has a pinched neck and a flared foot. Stylized leaf shapes run in relief along the body. The iridescent lustre glaze shimmers in greens and golds with spots of purple and aubergine, and changes strongly with the light.

Marked on the underside: stamped "Clément Massier Golfe Juan (A.M.)".

Dimensions: height 11 cm, diameter 6 cm
Dating: ca. 1890-1910

Condition: good, appropriate for age. Fine craquelure in the glaze, some dark spots from the firing process. Rim slightly irregular in shape. Underside unglazed with glaze drips, as usual. No cracks or restorations observed. See photos for a full view.

Carefully packed and insured for shipment.
