Jerome Massier Glazed Ceramic Dolphin Pedestal

Item Description & Information

A late 19th-century or possibly early 20th-century glazed pedestal stand in the form of a dolphin by Jerome Massier (1830 - 1916). Stamped J. Massier Vallauris. 

The Massier family of Vallauris is recognized for three members producing majolica in the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1860, brothers Delphin and Clement Massier were joined by cousin Jerome Massier. The Massiers mastered the copper oxide flambé technique for glazing which gave their works an intensely vibrant color palette including red, green and blue hues not previously seen with English majolica. 

Measurements: 70 cm (H).
