Unlike mass-produced items, the pieces within this category are truly individualistic, often representing a particular artist's vision, a stylistic statement, or a unique survival from a bygone era.
This collection explores the captivating diversity of ceramic artistry with unique antique earthenware and collectible ceramics from various periods and regions.
We have Palissy-Style Dishes inspired by the 16th-century French potter Bernard Palissy. Celebrated for their vivid, three-dimensional depictions of reptiles, insects, fish, and botanicals, often set within dramatic grotto-like landscapes. Each piece is a miniature ecosystem rendered in ceramic.
Massier Vases & Pedestals from the renowned workshops of Vallauris, France, Massier pieces (particularly those by Jérôme Massier and his family) are known for their flamboyant majolica glazes, often featuring iridescent effects, and their innovative realistic art forms.
You may find rare examples of majolica, faience, art pottery, or one-off pieces that defy easy categorization but captivate with their individuality and historical resonance.
