Auguste Mouzin et Cie, Belgium, designed and manufactured this lovely Art Deco bedroom or dresser ceramic faience set. The set comprised four pieces: a pitcher, a large basin bowl, a soap-lidded dish, and a comb-lidded holder box. Those sets were used as toiletry accessories for washing and toiletry needs. They were displayed in bedrooms before bathrooms were standard in homes. Each piece is beautifully ornate, featuring enamel over off-white glazed ceramic and a stylized floral-geometric design, with a lovely palette of apple green, yellow saffron, amethyst purple, and black. Each piece is stamped on the underside with the inscription 'AMC - Made in Belgium', along with the model reference number and a handwritten ceramicist monogram.
Note: Originally named Auguste Mouzin et Cie in Wasmuël, Belgium, the faience factory AMC was later known as "la Faiencerie de Wasmuël" and was active from 1878 to 1951. It primarily produced large ornamental pieces and fine-quality ceramic decorative items. This factory was renowned for its Art Deco ceramics, characterized by recognizable geometric motifs. Vases, bathroom sets, and decorative items were among the factory's regular production. Around 1910, the factory started massive production of mantel clocks. More than 100 models were produced, each featuring numerous original decorations.
