A round "pique-fleurs" - a flower-arranging vase with cut-out holes - by Jean Gerbino (1876-1966) of Vallauris (Provence)
Story: Jean Gerbino (1876-1966) was a well known French master ceramist. He opened a workshop in Vallauris, in the south of France, in 1930. He developed a mosaïc technique of using small bits of various colored clays joined in sheets, which he formed in molds. The pieces were fired twice, with the second clear glaze firing giving them a glossy finish.
Description: A flower-arranging vase with holes made with through the labour-intensive "Gerbino process". It used a large mix of coloured clays for its mosaïc decor. Signed on the bottom, "Gerbino, Vallauris".
Coloured clays with clear glaze. Beautiful piece!
