This Moreau Le Pot Casse sculpture depicts a young boy carrying a large broken water pitcher pouring its contents, while the green-patinated vessel doubles as a small vase. An exquisite example of late 19th-century French Art Nouveau, it is finely cast in patinated technical zinc, combining grace, narrative poetry, and meticulous craftsmanship. Collectors highly value the Moreau Le Pot Casse for its delicate patina, elegant movement, and lyrical expression.

Stamped “Fabrication française Paris” and signed Aug. Moreau (Auguste Moreau, 1834–1917), the work shows the artist’s characteristic sensitivity and sense of movement. The condition is excellent, with only minimal signs of age consistent with careful preservation.
