"Gods, Goddesses and Horses, " Art Deco Vase with Nudes, Sea Green Glaze

About the Item

No doubt by the great French ceramic master, Jean Mayodon, this brilliantly glazed vase depicts nude gods and goddesses, accompanied by horses, presented in fluid-edged cartouches on a ground of sea green. The two scenes with nude figures are executed in vivid glazes -- ruby red, blue-green and ivory -- and the body of the vase is executed in a remarkable sea green dotted with gold, as was Mayodon's custom. Mayodon created a great variety of ceramic pieces with mythological themes, usually gods and goddesses romping across the land or sea with great joy. This example is one of the best we have seen, and the size is especially large.
