An Eye-catching Mosa Maastricht Art Deco Pitcher This is a beautiful example of Dutch Art Deco pottery. Manufactured by Mosa Maastricht in the Netherlands, it dates back to the interwar period, specifically the 1920s or 1930s. The pitcher is crafted from earthenware, commonly known as plateel. It features a stunning polychrome glaze application, characteristic of the period. The primary colours are a matte black base complemented by vibrant red and orange detailing. The decoration is a stylish spritzdecor with applied glazes using an innovative spraying technique. Stylized leaves and berries are present in bold relief on the body of the jug. This method creates a distinct gradient effect and avoids brush marks. Its unique shape leads to its nickname, the 'snavelkan' (beak pitcher). This piece is characteristic of the Amsterdam School movement's influence on decorative arts. It is presented in very good vintage condition, a testament to its enduring quality. The piece will be safely packaged and shipped insured to the winning bidder.
