Novita (1920s–1950s) was a design studio or manufacturer, primarily active in France and Belgium during the Art Deco period and the postwar years (from the 1920s to the 1950s) Unlike mass producers, Novita specialized in the production of three-dimensional advertising sculptures made of plaster or polychrome staff intended to be displayed directly on the counters of cafés, brasseries, and grocery stores, The use of dense plaster, hand-painted (polychrome), gave the pieces a depth, weight, and sculptural quality far superior to that of the plastic that later replaced it.
