Striking Majolica Jardinière W/ Handles Signed Jérôme Massier (Fils) Vallauris c. 1900 - 20½"

A striking cache-pot in barbotine (majolica), featuring elegant Greek-style scrolling handles and an opulent hand-painted floral decoration. The surface is adorned with blooming flowers, applied with thick, expressive brushstrokes that create a subtle textured effect, set against a beautifully graduated ground of deep green and pink tones.

This sculptural jardinière is signed Jérôme Massier under the base. Jérôme Massier Fils (1850–1916) was a leading figure in the celebrated Massier family of ceramists, active in Vallauris in the late 19th century, and played a key role in elevating Vallauris pottery to international prominence during this period.

The piece remains in good condition, with a chip on the rim and light wear consistent with age.

A bold and decorative statement piece, perfect for showcasing a favourite plant or simply as a standalone work of art, bringing colour and historic charm to an interior.
