Antique Art Nouveau Delphin Massier Vallauris Iridescent Pottery Centerpiece
Antique Art Nouveau Delphin Massier Vallauris Iridescent Pottery Centerpiece

Antique Art Nouveau Delphin Massier Vallauris Iridescent Pottery Centerpiece

A fine French art pottery centerpiece. By Delphin Massier in Vallauris. Created ca. 1900. Depicting 3 conjoined maidens cradling their faces with their dresses flowing into a wide trefoil undulating base. Marked to the base. (Perhaps a depiction of the goddess Hecate.) There is evidence of an old professional repairs. We note overpaint to sections of the figures and base. Not noted on the underside. (We're not sure what the extent of the repairs were. Given the lack of evidence of repair on the underside, we think it may have been chips or flakes to the top.) In any case, it displays very nicely. Simply wonderful French Art Nouveau design! Date: ca. 1900 Overall Condition: It is in overall fair, as-pictured, used estate condition with no chips or cracks. Condition Details: There is evidence of an old professional repairs. We note overpaint to sections of the figures and base. Not noted on the underside. (We're not sure what the extent of the repairs were. Given the lack of evidence of repair on the underside, we think it may have been chips or flakes to the top.) Otherwise, there is some crazing throughout, some light fritting or glaze loss around the edges of the base, some light scratches to the overpaint, and some bubbling and roughness in the glaze that appears to be a firing flaw around the edges. Otherwise, there are some fine & light surface scratches and other signs of expected light wear consistent with age. Maker: Delphin Massier Marks: Marked to the base for Delphin Massier Vallauris...
