Art Nouveau ceramics, produced from around 1880 to 1914, encompassed a variety of different styles and influences, including national historicism, nature, symbolism, and an interest in Asian culture particularly Japan. The period’s diverse practitioners in ceramics were nonetheless driven by the search for new forms that responded to the sweeping social, cultural, economic, and artistic changes wrought by industrialization at the end of the nineteenth century before the advent of World War I.
