Delphin MASSIER (1836–1907), Vallauris
Vase with Eagles
Elegant bulbous vase resting on four feet, with a dynamic and sculptural silhouette. The rim unfolds in a sinuous movement forming two finely modeled and expressive eagle heads facing each other. Made of ceramic with a nuanced green iridescent glaze, the piece displays sumptuous metallic reflections shifting between emerald green, gold, and violet depending on the light.
Monogram on the base: “D M Vallauris”
Dimensions: H. 23 cm – L. 37 cm
