Vase 1895 - 1905

This "Vase" by Clément Massier, created between 1895 and 1905, is a stunning example of Art Nouveau ceramics. The vase, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a slender, elongated form adorned with a delicate floral motif in a pale, iridescent glaze. This technique, known as "lustré," reflects light beautifully, adding depth and texture to the design. Massier, a prominent figure in the French ceramics movement, was renowned for his innovative use of glazes and his exploration of nature-inspired forms.
