The complex glaze reveals Metthey’s masterful control of color and texture, evoking the subtle elegance of ceramics fused with Art Nouveau symbolism.

The surface is enhanced by a rich crackle glaze, while the stylized feather or palm-leaf decoration radiates from a delicately patterned center.

Dimensions:
• Diameter: 8.85 in (22.5 cm)
• Height: 1.57 in (4 cm)

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No visible chips or cracks. The glaze and craquelure are original and intentional, typical of Metthey’s aesthetic approach.
