Earthenware pot, signed Delphin Massier, Vallauris
About the Item
Pierre Massier (1707-1748) was a pioneer of ceramics on the Côte d’Azur, opening a factory in the town of Vallauris before the French Revolution. The first in the long family line of ceramists, he set a standard in quality. Under the guidance of his son Jacques (1806-1871) the factory in Vallauris expanded, a profitable local business. During this period, the factory produced utilitarian pottery for cooking, garden wares, and bricks. Massier cooking pottery was known to “resist fire and the flavors of foods.” The following generation would be represented by a pair of brothers, Delphin (1836-1907) and Clément (1844-1917). Under Delphin’s lead, factory in Vallauris produced primarily high-fired majolica items. His line of purely artist ceramics was destined for the home and garden. At some point during the Art Nouveau years, Delphin mastered the technique for metallic luster glazing invented by his younger brother. He, too, proceeded to create wonderful iridescent objects. While not as well known for his lusterware, Delphin was very successful, and the firing of his vessels often obtained a brilliant iridescence.
