Description from the seller

Art Deco Vase with Polychrome Geometric Decor – A.M.C. Wasmuël – Model 208 / Decor 739 – Ca. 1930

A splendid and characteristic Art Deco ceramic vase, produced around 1930 in Belgium by the renowned faience factory Auguste Mouzin & Compagnie (A.M.C.) at Wasmuël.

This object is a true exemplar of the heyday of the Belgian Art Deco period. The egg-shaped vase is decorated all around with a striking and rhythmic polychrome pattern. The geometric design consists of clean triangles and stylized, fan-shaped elements in deep cobalt blue and ochre yellow, set off by bold black contour lines against a cream-colored background.

The central fields feature a contrasting brown oval medallion containing three stylized black flames or chevron shapes. The whole is finished with a beautiful glossy glaze with a fine, uniform crazed network.

On the underside is the authentic black factory stamp of A.M.C. Belgium, together with the hand-written decor number 739 and the blind-pressed model number 208.

• Manufacturer: Auguste Mouzin & Compagnie (A.M.C.)
• Origin: Wasmuël, Belgium
• Period: Ca. 1930 (Art Deco)
• Material: Faience / Majolica (glazed earthenware)
• Marks: Factory stamp A.M.C., decor number 739 and model number 208

• Height: 25.5 cm
• Width/Depth: 17.5 cm
• Weight: 1416 grams

In excellent antique condition with a magnificent glaze shine. The piece shows a very handsome, age-appropriate craquelé in the glaze. No restorations, cracks or major fractures present. A few minimal, age-appropriate signs on the stand ring and the inside of the neck, consistent with the age and use of the object.
Carefully review the detail photos for a full and precise personal impression of this lot.

This lot is prepared with the utmost care, packed extremely securely and professionally (double boxed). Shipping to the winning bidder is always fully insured and provided with a Track & Trace code, so you can accurately follow the journey of your package.
