Art Nouveau art pottery, part of a broader reaction against mass-produced ceramics, featured individually made pieces using natural motifs (especially floral) and both soft and bold colors. Many prominent potteries experimented with Art Nouveau designs, including new glazes, shapes, and decorations.
Some significant Art Nouveau pottery names include Sevres, Rozenburg, Meissen, Konigliche Porzellan Manufaktur (K. P. M.), Goldscheider Earthenware and Porcelain, Royal Dux, Zsolnay, Moorcroft, Minton & Co., Doulton, Rookwood, Newcomb College, Clifton, Grueby Faience Co., Van Briggle, and Reissney, Stellmacher, & Kessel (who produced Amphora Ware)...
Some Art Nouveau pottery designers of note include Martin Bros, George Ohr, Clement Massier, and Sir Henry Doulton.
