Vide poche - Vallauris

Extraordinary work of great collectible significance: a sculptural bowl / snuff bowl with a fluid and organic design, created by the renowned French ceramist Delphin MASSIER (1836–1907) in Vallauris (France). The piece is executed in the iconic and renowned technique of iridescent metallic luster glaze (reflets métalliques / metallic luster glaze). The dark, deep finish ranges between gunmetal tones, titanium black, and splendid iridescent bronze-bronze reflections that change with the angle of light. Soft forms, natural shell-like folds, and the customary Art Nouveau / Proto-modernist sculptural mastery make this piece a true decorative art sculpture. The folded and asymmetric shape surprisingly anticipates the organic design of the 20th century, making it perfect both in historic settings and in modern and contemporary interiors. Origin: Vallauris, French Riviera, France Era: Art Nouveau / Fin de Siècle period (circa 1895–1905) Technique: Terracotta/maiolica with iridescent reactive metallic luster glaze Conditions: Vintage, shows signs of age that emphasize its antiquity - see photos in the gallery
