18th Century French Hand Painted Ceramic Wall Platter from Moustiers

About the Item

Decorate a wall or a shelf with this colorful antique platter from Provence; crafted in Moustiers, France circa 1780, the oval plate features grotesque people and is hand painted in the soft green and yellow palette. The pottery platter is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use and adorns rich patinated colors. Metal hook in the back for easy installation. Moustiers faience earthenware, a tradition spanning centuries, is made in the charming Provençal village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. It became famous all over the world thanks to its fine glazed earthenware produced in the 17th and 18th centuries. Recognizable by its distinctive floral designs, the craft is perpetuated today by a number of workshops in the village. Worth a visit: the faience museum in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, which contains remarkable pieces produced by 17th and 18th century master potters. Measures: 16" W x 11" H.

  • 19th Century French Hand Painted Ceramic Duck Wall Platter Stamped J. Massier
    By Jerome Massier Fils
    Located in Dallas, TX
    This elegant Majolica platter was created in Southern France by Massier, circa 1890. Round in shape, the antique ceramic plate is beautifully hand painted featuring a standing duck in a barn. The planter is in excellent condition with rich colors in the beige, green and white palette. The piece is stamped on the bottom Jerome Massier Fils, Vallauris, Pierre Perret. Hook in the back for easy installation. The Massier family of Vallauris is recognized for three members producing Majolica in the second half of the 19th century. In 1860, brothers Delphin (1836-1907) and Clement (1844-1917) Massier were joined by cousin Jerome Massier (1850-1916) and began producing a style of ceramic bridging between traditional Victorian Majolica and Art Nouveau pottery. The Massiers mastered the copper oxide flambé technique for glazing, thereby introducing an intensely vibrant color palette including red, green and blue hues not previously seen with English Majolica. Important in the Massier production were a series of large naturalistic modeled figural roosters, hens and other birds. Vases and wall pockets styled as orchids, intensely colored irises and sunflowers are among the most common Massier styles. A variety of humorous pieces bearing frogs and songbirds are popular among collectors. Most Massier Majolica bears...
