Jérôme Massier - Large Pitcher With A Feminine Handle - Art Nouveau Period
Artist: Jérôme Massier
Large polychrome glazed earthenware pitcher by Jérôme Massier of Vallauris, from the Art Nouveau period, circa 1900.
This model features a slender body topped by a long spout, with a sculptural handle depicting a nude woman with her arms raised.
The glaze is polychrome with flowing glazes.
It features shades of wine-red, purple, brown, green, and turquoise.
The bottom of the pitcher bears an incised mark reading “Jérôme Massier Vallauris France.”
This model, also known as a “buire à bec pointue” (pitcher with a pointed spout), is listed on page 175 of the book *Massier*, published by the Réunion des musées nationaux (RMN) in 2000, and is mentioned in several auction catalogs.
