There is not much information about Maurice Mouton (Chartres 1878-1909), son of ceramist Henri Mouton who exhibited in the 1889 Exposition Universelle.
He specialized in decorative grès in the early 1900, s. Only known is his panther he made for Paul Jouve, that was ordered by Siegfried Bings Art Nouveau gallery in 1903.
And since shortly these two wall pedestal shelfs.
See Paul Jouve by Felix Marceilhac, page 335, and Art Nouveau Ceramics by Paul Arthur, pages 218 and 285.
