Description

Rendered in an iridescent luster glaze, a mesmerizing motif resembling the ridges and furrows of brain coral, covers the surface of this fine earthenware vase. This luminous reef has attracted an array of sea-life, including a golden orange crab, a large fish and a seahorse. This piece demonstrates how the sea creatures of Vallauris provided inspiration for Art Nouveau design motifs. Marks: painted Delphin Massier, Vallauris, AM
