THIS OBJECT WAS SOLD
Orientalist Design Ceramic Vase, Mougin Bros Nancy & A Legrand
Brothers Joseph and Pierre MOUGIN cenic-shaped Ceramic vase, in Nancy, following collaboration with André LEGRAND (1902-1947)
http://www.gres-mougin.fr/2-les-freres-joseph-et-pierre-mougin.html
Orientalist village with several characters and tents decor.
The Mougin brothers worked in the Ecole de Nancy and its precepts, in particular through their collaboration with many artists and craftsmen, designers and painters, in this main idea of collaboration between various trades for the creation of "the Total Artwork ".
On the other hand, they move away from it by trying to popularize ceramic art through serial production more accessible for people, while the School of Nancy Art Nouveau creations are oftenluxurious, unique and therefore elitist.
By this way of mind, the MOUGIN Brothers had a central and important position on the XXth cty arts and crafts history, and may be one of the clearest examples of this pivotal period between Art Deco and the later artistic trends.
Sizes: 28cm height &20.5cm diameter
Perfect condition; this is really a vase, and not here a lamp base (even if this model also existed as a lamp). The "pellet" onthe back center has not been recapped or restored but is original/geniune.
