Ernest Bussiere, Long Neck Vase - Polychrome Ceramic. Signed Bussière - Art Nouveau

Important long neck vase decorated with a Nymph kissing a Virginia creeper. But wouldn't it be the other way around because in the top of the vase forming part of the neck, we see the head of a satyr appear on the neck of the Nymph. An allegory treated in the purest symbol of Art Nouveau, the naked woman surrounded by nature. The vase decorated with virginia creeper in shades of green, gray, slightly bluish, purple red on the bottom. The honey-colored nymph, surrounding the vase with her hands, head resting on her left arm, takes a very successful position, giving the impression of accepting the kiss. Everything and tenderness and voluptuousness, the whole harmoniously realized. Signed KG Lunéville Bussiere Bibliography: In “vegetable ceramics Ernest Bussières and the art nouveau museum of the school of Nancy 2000, in the introduction by Valérie Thomas, we see a photo of Ernest Bussière in his workshop around 1901/1902 where the plaster work is on a shelf.
