  Grote vaas van Clement Massier uit het jaar dat zijn vrouw overleed. Gemerkt met de M van Marie voor zijn naam. Zo weten we dat deze vaas gemaakt is in 1900. De kleuren zijn zacht, maar als het licht er op de juiste manier in weerspiegeld ontstaan de contrasten en zien we alle kleuren van de regenboog. Deze vaas heeft sterke licht-donker en mat-glanzende effecten en een reliëf randje om ieder getekend blaadje, takje, nerf of braambes. Dat zien we alleen bij de beste stukken van Massier.

• About the artist

  Clement Massier was born in 1845 in France.
  
  Being born into a family of ceramists, Clément Massier also took an interest in the artistic business from an early age.
  
  In 1884, after years of work, study, and travel, he relocated his share of the family firm to Golfe-Juan and began producing Hispano-Moresque-influenced pottery, with silver and copper oxide glazes made iridescence in a smoky kiln. Following the arrival Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer in 1887, Massier introduced fiery luster glazes enriched with etching and painting, applying them to forms ranging from hand-built individuality to slip-cast uniformity. He was soon in command of a busy factory and a showroom that boasted an elite international clientele.
  
  Clément, Jérôme & Delphin were three brothers from a family of potters in Vallauris, southern France. All three worked in the family business of Jérôme Massier et Cie (Jérôme was their father's name) in Vallauris, but later worked independently.
  
  Clément, the middle brother, born in 1845, was the most prominent of the three. He worked in Vallauris before moving to nearby Golfe-Juan, and is remembered for his lustre glazes which were later taken up by the American Weller company. He was a leading Art Nouveau figure and at the turn of the century opened a salon in Paris.
  
  (Jérôme, born 1850, and Delphin, born 1836, continued working in Vallauris. Of these two Jérôme's work is the more sought-after.)
