cf. J. G. Peiffer, Les Frères Mougin: Sorciers de Grand Feu: Grès et Porcelaine 1898-1950, Dijon, 2001, p. 41 for an illustration of a vase of this model.
Joseph Mougin, along with his brother Pierre, began experimenting with faience shortly after Emile Gallé shut down his ceramic production. Joseph was so taken by the medium that he cut his studies with the French sculptor Louis-Ernest Barrias in order to devote his carrer to ceramics. The Mougin brothers established their pottery in Nancy, France where they thrived for many years. At the 1925 Paris Exposition, Joseph and Pierre won the Grand Prix de Ceramique Art.
A vase of this design is in the collection of the Musée de l'École, Nancy.
