The Massier family founded one of the first terracotta factories in the city of Vallauris in the 17th century. Beyond the French Revolution, Clément (1844-1917), Delphin (1836-1907) and Jérôme Massier (1820-1909) were the first to use glossy enamels in ceramics.

At the 1889 Universal Exhibition, Clément Massier received a gold medal for his ceramic vases with iridescent decoration. (Read about the Massier Dynasty: https://www.proantic.com/magazine/la-dynastie-massier/)
