Skip to main contentBiographyIn 1901, Jacques Sicard immigrated to the United States from Golfe Juan, France, where he had been employed in the pottery of Clement Massier and learned the secrets of producing this lustre ware. The line was ready for the market in 1903. Sicard's assistant Henri Gellie worked in secret with him at the Weller Pottery. Their ware was decorated with metallic lustres on an iridescent ground of tints ranging from rose and blue to crimson and purple. He signed the ware Sicard or Sicardo.
Sicard returned to France in 1907. Although ware was no longer produced, Weller had enough stock to continue selling it until about 1912.[1]
