About the Item

This French Art Deco crackle glaze ceramic sculpture by BERLOT-MUSSIER, created in the 1920s in Vierzon, France, features a monkey in a playful and stylized pose. The sculpture stands at 6.4 inches (16.3 cm) tall, 6.9 inches (17.5 cm) in width, and 4.1 inches (10.5 cm) in depth, making it a compact and striking decorative piece. The "Odyv" mark under the base indicates it was made by the Odyv studio, which was part of the Vierzon pottery factory during this time. The crackle glaze finish, a hallmark of the Art Deco period, gives the piece a textured, visually dynamic surface. The monkey figure captures the playful, whimsical nature of the era, with its geometric forms and stylized features. The sculpture’s charming design, combined with its quality craftsmanship, makes it an intriguing addition to any collection of Art Deco ceramics.
