Maljakko - Keraaminen - Allekirjoittanut Massier

Art Nouveau -maljakko " Fleur de Lys " - Maison Massier, Vallauris

A spectacular piece of artistic ceramics from Vallauris - late nineteenth / early twentieth century

Beautiful monumental vase in enamelled earthenware, with a sculptural silhouette inspired by the fleur-de-lis, with a richly modelled plant decoration and a superb glaze with metallic and iridescent reflections.

The surface reveals a particularly deep palette combining copper brown, green, blue, bronze and golden reflections, with very beautiful light effects that vary according to the orientation of the room.
The shape, the relief treatment and the quality of the glaze are characteristic of the decorative research developed in Vallauris by the Massier workshops during the great era of artistic ceramics.
