A beautiful Art Deco animal sculpture depicting a stylized fox, lying in an elegant and attentive posture, characteristic of the decorative aesthetics of the years 1925-1935.
The lines are clean, the volumes taut and harmonious, with a masterful stylization that gives the animal a look that is both graphic and full of presence. The fox rests on an integrated rectangular base, reinforcing the typical architectural aspect of Art Deco.
The ceramic is covered with a superb soft and luminous celadon green crackle glaze, highlighting the shapes and reliefs without excess.
The piece is signed Fontinelle under the base and bears the number 77, testifying to French workshop production from the 20th century.
