This pair of ceramic columns by Delphin Massier perfectly illustrates the naturalist aesthetic characteristic of Art Nouveau. Crafted in an organic form reminiscent of plant stems, these pieces feature a glaze in shades of green and pink, suggesting the texture and nuances of nature in motion. The raised motifs depicting poppy flowers accentuate this impression of living vegetation.
However, it is notable that these columns have been restored, as evidenced by some areas where the glaze appears to have been retouched. Furthermore, the original planters are missing, meaning they no longer serve their original purpose. Despite this, these pieces retain their decorative and historical value, bearing witness to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Massier factory, renowned for its bold and innovative ceramics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Even restored and incomplete, these columns remain remarkable works, typical of Art Nouveau, with their aesthetic inspired by the plant world and their vibrant glaze effects, characteristic of Delphin Massier's work.
