Metal Bronze pitcher Female Nudes un-mounted from ? Help with signature an origin

This pitcher sculpture is 8" tall and was mounted to something. All input appreciated.

need help with signature, origin and purpose?

 

Just love it! Could look at it all day. Captivating indeed.

 

Very cool and different!

"Note to Grammar police: I read either a or an homage is correct, depending on pronunciation."

Well done INH! I lean toward "an," but you are right as usual!

 

Thanks INH

 

Samieto it lost its base or was never mounted I like it even without the base, I do not plan to keep it thou.

not sure if it is Lucien Alliot. patination looks new.

 

Tut tut...keep it. Too nice to part with.

 

The lot did not sell at LiveAuctioneers.........Passed on....

 

Just to add to what happened here. They asked for $150 to open. Apparently no one bid. They lowered to $100, got a bid, another for $125. Evidently there was a reserve, bids did not meet & it passed. Don't know why auctioneer says it's a ewer after Alliot when label says a vase by Alliot.

The one without the base opened at $150 & sold for $450 + 16% buyer's premium.

 

Sorry.....apparently I did not read far enough??

 

What's to be sorry for? The details may not have been available to you. I'm registered with them, so took a look at this stuff & posted to help OP get an idea of value. Just supplementing your post.

These are also Alliot's work:

Text is in French, but word 'chryselephantine' is the same in English & means made of gold & ivory. Taking the chance I'm not insulting anyone's vocabulary by explaining.

 

JMHO. an abuse of a French name to deceive. this company worldofbronze seems to make fantasy bronzes for fantasy prices that come nowhere near real French art nouveau stuff. look at the feet and the whole body , terrible. no - DISGUSTING.

 

Possibly someone cut the base off to make a water feature/fountain.

 

Maybe that's why auctioneer called it 'after' Alliot.

Because I was losing track, the one with a base & a tag did not sell. This one:

While the other, this one, sold for $450:

I can't say what they really do, but appears to me they make replicas, supposedly in cast bronze, of existing bronzes like the Alliot vase, distinguishing them from originals by mounting them on bases & putting those tags on the base. Doubt they themselves design anything.

 

but then we'd certainly find one similar or at least with a bit of resemblance.

 

This one does not satisfy you?
