AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art Deco vase from AMC of Wasmes in Wasmuël, with floral spray decoration in cherry red and dove blue. The colors softly fade to the white glaze and follow the relief of an oval cartouche with flowers. The angular, tapering silhouette on two legs is modernist in design. On a sideboard or bookcase the vase adds a warm accent to a white room.
For this object a Buy Now price has also been set, for those who want to acquire it directly without waiting.
Description:
An angular, lightly tapering vase with an oval relief cartouche on the front. Inside are two cherry-red flowers with dove-blue berries and leaves, framed by a red border that fades to white. The foot extends into two legs with a gap between. The back and sides are plain white under a glossy glaze. The number 195 is written in pen on the bottom.
About the maker:
Auguste Mouzin et Cie (AMC) was a earthenware factory in Wasmuël, in the Borinage. Isidore Paulus started it in 1836; Auguste Mouzin took it over in 1878. Henri Meyer led the factory for forty years and stood out at the Paris Exhibition in 1937. After the war, tableware and household items went out of fashion; liquidation followed in 1952. This vase belongs to the artistic ceramic ware from before that shift.
In interior design:
Fits into an Art Deco, retro, or modern interior, on a sideboard or bookcase. The cherry red serves as a color accent against white or dark walls.
Condition:
Good. Front, sides and edge: no visible chips, hairline cracks, or repairs. Footed base and underside: light soiling. The sprayed color decoration with its soft transitions is factory-applied. Glossy glaze on all sides. See the photos. Offered as a decorative object, not intended for use with food.
