Art Nouveau Fantasy Fish Mask

This mask can be provided as a wall plaque or piped to function as an interesting fountain head. It can be supplied either ten or nineteen inches in diameter. It is typical of the later designs of the Arts and Crafts movement and clearly shows the transition towards the style known as Art Nouveau. The incorporation of oriental influences, particularly Japanese, into European art had occurred several decades before this piece was designed in the late 1890s is evident. The asymmetry of the piece is another characteristic of Art Nouveau.
