The perch rests in a grass cropping and features two bamboo shoot flower holders, circa 1875. Gorgeous color, a scarce piece. Signed Delphin Massier et Cie, Vallauris A.M. Delphin, born in 1836, was one of three brothers from the Massier family, a dynasty of potters dating back to before the French Revolution. The family played a key role in the revival of pottery in Vallauris, Southern France. Delphin worked in the family business of Jérôme Massier et Cie in Vallauris from 1860-1880. He specialized in free-standing figures of birds and florals. Book reference: Pg. 76 “Barbotines de la Cote d ‘Azur” by Maryse Bottero.
