A masterpiece of Art Nouveau ceramics, this "Faune et Nymphe" vase by Alfred Finot, published by Gentil & Bourdet in 1900, illustrates the perfect alliance between sculpture and enameling. Its bulbous base and vegetal neck, sublimated by high-relief decoration, are adorned with a crystallized enamel in vibrant shades of green-yellow, blue and beige. Stamped "Gentil / Bourdet / Architectes / Céramistes", this exceptional 30 cm-high piece embodies the refinement and innovation of the great ceramists of its time. A similar model was produced by the Mougin brothers, testifying to the interest shown in this emblematic creation.
