About the Item
This delicate flower frog vase by Jean Gerbino is a stunning example of the artist’s mastery in terre mêlée (mixed clay) ceramics. Measuring 9 cm in diameter, this spherical vase features multiple small openings at the top, designed to elegantly arrange floral compositions. The surface showcases an intricate mosaic of colored clays in swirling hues of blue, green, ochre, and terracotta, forming geometric and organic patterns typical of Gerbino’s signature technique. Unlike traditional glazes, these patterns are achieved by skillfully assembling tinted clay fragments, creating a vibrant marquetry-like effect within the body of the piece itself. Signed under the base, this collectible object reflects the enduring appeal of Vallauris ceramic art. Its refined craftsmanship and decorative complexity make it a prized addition for collectors of mid-century and French art pottery.
Jean Gerbino (1876–1966) was a master French ceramist based in Vallauris, renowned for perfecting the ancient technique of terre mêlée. His meticulously assembled polychrome clay mosaics earned him international acclaim, making his work highly collectible among ceramic art enthusiasts.
