Large antique cache-pot in glazed earthenware, signed Jérôme Massier, Vallauris, made during the Art Nouveau period, around 1900-1910. It features a generous shape and a scalloped rim, enhanced by a delicate floral decoration highlighted with gilding on a background of iridescent shades of lilac, mauve, and pink, while the interior showcases a beautiful celadon green glaze. Signed under the base "J. Massier – Vallauris" and numbered 285. Dimensions: * Height: 23 cm. * Diameter: 25 cm. Condition: generally good state of preservation for a piece of this era. Notable are some chips and signs of wear on the upper edge, slight losses of glaze at the foot, as well as an old drainage hole drilled in the base that has been filled, with no impact on its stability or decorative quality.
