About the maker: Auguste Mouzin et Cie (AMC) was a faïencerie in Wasmuël, in the Borinage. Isidore Paulus started it in 1836; Auguste Mouzin took it over in 1878. Henri Meyer led the factory for forty years and is noted for shining at the Paris exhibition in 1937. After the war, tableware and household goods declined; in 1952 liquidation followed. This vase belongs to the artistic decorative works from before that shift. In the interior: Fits in an Art Deco, retro, or modern interior, on a sideboard or bookcase. The cherry red acts as a color accent against white or dark walls. Condition: Good. Front, sides and edge: no visible chips, hairline cracks, or repairs. Footed base and underside: slight soiling.
