Hand-painted Italian ceramic potiche vase, made in the 1920s. 19.5 cm diameter, 13 cm diameter, 23 cm height. Art Nouveau is an international style of art, architecture, and applied art, particularly decorative arts, popular between 1890 and 1910. It was a reaction against the historicism and eclecticism of 19th-century academic art and was inspired by natural forms and fluid lines. Art Nouveau is characterized by the use of organic forms, such as flowers, leaves, and vines, as well as the use of curves and sinuous lines. It often features stylized flowers, leaves, and other plant forms, as well as geometric shapes. The colors used in Art Nouveau are often muted and pastel, and the overall effect is often one of elegance and sophistication. Art Nouveau was a popular style for many different types of objects, including furniture, jewelry, glassware, ceramics, and metalware. It was also used in architecture, and many Art Nouveau buildings can be found in cities around the world.
