The older brother of Clément Massier, Delphin Honoré Massier had inherited his share of the family ceramics business upon the death of their father Jacques in 1871, establishing the firm "Au vieux moulin" in 1874 in partnership with Jean Narbon d'Honoré and Pierre Jourdain. He learnt various techniques through the teachings of Gaetano Gandalfi, an assistant to his father, and participated in the Exposition Universelle in 1900. When Clément relocated to one of the family properties in southern Vallauris, Delphin moved elsewhere in Vallauris, leaving Jacques's factory to a second cousin, Jean Baptiste Massier (son of Jerome Massier).
His products were similar to those of Clément, though his main output was of high-fired majolica, sometimes with applied female figures. Delphin gave up the work in 1904, after the death of his wife the year prior, and the atlier was run by his sons until 1912.
