About the maker: Auguste Mouzin et Cie (AMC) was a earthenware factory 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 stood out at the Paris Exhibition in 1937. After the war, tableware and household items went out of fashion; liquidation followed in 1952. This vase belongs to the artistic ceramic ware from before that shift. In interior design: Fits into an Art Deco, retro, or modern interior, on a sideboard or bookcase.
