An exceptional and rare three-handled vase created by master ceramist Jean Gerbino.
This piece is a masterful testament to the craftsmanship of Vallauris during its golden age.
The originality of this work lies in the mosaic clay technique, a unique process developed by Gerbino after 15 years of research. It is not a painted decoration, but a true marquetry of colored clays, meticulously assembled before throwing.
The decoration consists of a wide central frieze featuring polychrome compass roses, surrounded by complex registers of checkerboard patterns and organic motifs in shades of turquoise, ochre, and umber.
An exceptional piece of rare dimensions.
The precision of the mosaic joins and the fineness of the glaze attest to a very high-quality execution.
The piece is in perfect condition, without any chips or cracks. Signature: Stamped under the base "Gerbino" "Vallauris (AM)"
