The ceramic jug by Alphonse Mouton (or "Alpho") is considered an Art Deco piece.
Period: Alphonse Mouton worked from the 1930s to the 1980s, and his early works are strongly influenced by the Art Deco movement, which flourished between the 1920s and 1930s.
Geometric Shapes: The Art Deco style is characterized by bold, geometric shapes. The square, angular shape of this jug, which departs from the traditional curves of ceramics, is a distinctive element of this style.
Bold Colors and Contrasts: Art Deco often uses strong color combinations and glossy surfaces. Mouton's distinctive glazes, ranging from dark blue to green and beige with a dripping effect, create visual contrasts that embody the Art Deco spirit of inventiveness and refinement.
Elegance and Modernity: The Art Deco aesthetic aimed for modernity and elegance, combining craftsmanship with cutting-edge design for the time.
