A large wall-hanging ceramic platter by French artist Clement Massier (1811-1917) made in his studio in Golfe-Juan, France, dated to August 31st of 1891. The Art Nouveau style plate features a beautiful luster glaze in the artist's signature style and depicts a fantasy woodland landscape with jagged peaks and arches. It was made to be displayed on the wall with the exterior hanging ears and holes on the back. Signed with slip glaze "Clement Massier Golfe-Juan A.M. 1891," and with additional incised mark "Clement Massier Golfe-Juan A.M. 31 Aout 1891".
Massier is widely considered as the founder the modern ceramic industry of Vallauris, Southern France, and one of the key creators of modern lusterware with iridescent glaze. A master ceramist and glazer, Massier set up his own factory in 1883 in Golfe-Juan outside Vallauris. From the studio there, he developed his famous iridescent glaze. His work had many influences and input from other Near and Far East cultures and went on to win many international awards.
