The Massiers (Jérôme, Clément, Delphin, Cédric) are a dynasty of ceramists that goes back beyond the French Revolution and played a key role in the renaissance of Vallauris ceramics. Clément Massier is considered as the founder at the beginning of the XXth century of the modern ceramic industry of Vallauris. Of a creative nature, Clément Massier (1844 Vallauris - 1917 Golfe-juan) was first working in 1856 with his father Jacques (1801-1871). He was introduced to pottery by Gaetano Gandolfi, an Italian master potter hired by his father. Gandolfi will be the initiator of several techniques, among which enamelled earthenware, which will make the reputation of the house Massier. From then on, the production will be distinguished by its originality, abandoning the utilitarian pottery in favor of an exclusively artistic creation. At the death of his father, Clément first associated with his brother Delphin Massier to finally create his own factory in 1883 outside Vallauris. Its location in Golfe-Juan, on the road linking Monaco, Nice and Cannes will enable it to reach wealthy and cosmopolitan tourism and benefit from the proximity of the railway to ship its manufactured products. Clément Massier becomes a real entrepreneur by opening sales outlets in his own region, but also in the capital and to Germany.
