Louis Lourioux's sandstone gourd pitcher

Louis lourioux's two-tone sandstone gourd pitcher (1874-1930). Louis lourioux began his production in foycy during the art nouveau period with motifs inspired by the animal and plant world, then he turned to an art deco style, more refined and geometric. This pitcher is part of a series that louis lourioux devotes to cucurbitaceae, playing on the effects of colors and materials. Thus, this pitcher, whose lower part adorned with small scales in very light relief, contrasts with the upper part and the cove, smooth and covered with a blue glaze. This pitcher is signed under the base of the brand to the two wings. Note the presence of a crack on the spout.
