AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Joseph (1876-1961) & Pierre (1879-1955) MOUGIN - Ernest BUSSIÈRE (Sculptor)
Magnificent stoneware pitcher with a vegetal-shaped body, animated by gentle rounded ribs that extend to form the neck, elongated in a vegetal stylization, decorated with runny glazes of violet, beige, brown and blue on a blue background with metallic and crystalline reflections.
Signature incised on the underside of the base.
Height 11.5 cm
Width 8 cm
length 13 cm
weight 276 g
Careful packaging and shipment with tracking
The Mougin brothers Joseph (June 7, 1876 – 1961) and Pierre (May 15, 1880 – September 7, 1955), sons of Xavier Mougin, are French ceramicists and sculptors. They both practiced their craft during the Art Nouveau era and during the Art Deco era.
Popularized at the end of the 19th century, Art Nouveau experienced notable expansion in Europe, and to a lesser extent in the United States. In France, it is the 1900 Universal Exposition that marks its apex. While René Lalique, Hector Guimard, or Samuel Bing constitute unquestionable national references, the members of the School of Nancy undoubtedly form the crème de la crème of this movement in the Hexagon: Emile Gallé, Victor Prouvé, Louis Majorelle, the Daum Brothers at the forefront, but also the brothers Joseph and Pierre Mougin, who did not officially take part in the School of Nancy, yet supported it by participating in its exhibitions and by publishing many of its artists.
