Charming tiny vase in "Terre-mêlée" ceramic by Jean Gerbino circa 1930

About the Item

This small vase by Jean Gerbino, crafted in the 1930s, exemplifies his iconic mosaic clay technique. The vase features a bulbous form adorned with meticulously arranged geometric and floral patterns in earthy tones, turquoise, and white. The intricate diamond motifs, interwoven with delicate lines, demonstrate Gerbino’s exceptional precision and artistic vision. The polished finish enhances the vibrant interplay of colors, making it a timeless decorative piece. Jean Gerbino (1876–1966) was a visionary ceramicist born in Sicily who later worked in Vallauris, France. He pioneered the mosaic clay technique, assembling colored clay fragments into intricate designs. His work seamlessly blends Mediterranean tradition with modernist aesthetics, establishing him as a master of 20th-century ceramics. This vase beautifully illustrates Gerbino’s dedication to detail and innovation in ceramic art. Perfect condition. More information Upon Request.
