  • StyleArt Nouveau

  • SizeH 56 cm (22 in)

Art Nouveau ceramics emerged in the late 19th century, heavily influenced by natural forms, WHiplash curves, and organic motifs, breaking away from historical revival styles.

Makers typically used terracotta, earthenware, or majolica, often finished with polychrome glazes, metallic lustres, and high-relief moulding to create dimensional depth.

Authenticity is verified through makers marks, impressed factory stamps, glaze characteristics, crazing consistent with age, and the quality of hand-finishing in the relief work.

Mount the plaque as a focal point on a neutral wall to highlight its sculptural form, pairing it with organic materials like dark timber and brushed brass to complement its aesthetic.

Keep ceramic pieces out of direct sunlight to prevent glaze fading, dust gently with a soft dry brush, and avoid using liquid cleaners or mounting in damp environments.
