French Art Deco ceramic sculpture by BERLOT-MUSSIER (Vierzon, 1929-1939), France, 1930s. Measures: Height: 9"(23cm), Width : 16.9"(43cm), Depth: 4"(10.2cm). Marked "Odyv" under the base. The ODYV brand is a creation of the Berlot-Mussier manufacture in Vierzon near Bourges (Cher, France). Created in 1927 from the meeting of Mr. Berlot, a coal wholesaler, and Mr. Mussier, a coal salesman, the company first produced porcelain before specializing in the production of earthenware.

It includes clocks with pendants, vases, shaped pieces as well as lamp bases. Art Deco appeared in Paris in 1925, during the international decorative arts fair.

The specificity of this collection is its adaptability to customers. Indeed, the colors but also the shapes are chosen by the customer who can then order a unique piece according to his tastes. Customers may hesitate between a choice of pastel colors such as shades of pale green, beige, white or pink, all accented with gold or silver. All these objects were distributed by independent distributors who worked with Berlot-Mussier. A book retracing the history of the factory was published by the Charles VII...
