Description

The simple shape of this vase makes it a perfect foil for complex abstract ornamentation. Flames and smoke from an oxygen-deprived kiln have acted upon metallic glazes to create heavenly mists and starbursts upon a blood-red sky. This style is unusual for a ceramist associated with the region of Nancy, where sculptural decoration had historically been the norm. Marks: signed Jos Mougin Nancy in script on the base. Model number 841.
