Measurements 6" x 2" (15.5 x 6,5 cm.)Incised stamp on the bottom and monogram frontside left M.A. (Marius Alexandre??)In very good conditon. Some age crackling. A small chip to the left ear. This is a rare find nowadays. Clement Massier comes from a long line of ceramists starting in the early 18th. century. In 1883 he opened a new factory(studio) in a small town Golfe Juan conveniently located at the Cote d'Azur. Near his new factory he erected an exhibition hall and a gallery. The latter in neo classical style with turquoise detailing inspired from the persian and Moorish faience. Massier's production would be sold in at least five Paris galleries.
