Vase
Jacques Sicard was a French ceramicist who had studied iridescent glazing techniques under Clement Massier (1845–1917) in Golfe-Juan, France. Sicard was hired by Samuel Weller (1851–1925) in 1901, and with the help of his assistant Henre Gellie, developed an iridescent-glaze art line called "Sicardo." This vase is one example and was exhibited at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. Its Hispano-Moresque calligraphic design and iridescent surface were ideally suited to Art Nouveau tastes.
