"Flying Phoenix Bird, " Spectacular Set of Lemon Yellow Art Deco Dishes, Gregory
About the Item
Entirely unique and vividly glazed in tones of lemon yellow, silver and white, this set of 21 Art Deco dishes includes a very unusual large bowl, 10 dinner plates and 10 dessert plates. Each piece features a central, flying phoenix, grandly fitted out in flashy plumage, finished in a mirrored silver glaze. The ground of each piece is finished in a lovely yellow glaze that was highly unusual for the artist, Waylande Gregory. The artist was prodigious and indefatigable over a long career, producing a wide range of sculptures and wares in ceramic beginning in his college days, through his years working with Lorado Taft and later when he created large multi-figure pieces for WPA projects, institutions and public parks. One remarkable example is a fountain sculpture -- "Light Dispelling Darkness" -- in Roosevelt Park in Edison, New Jersey, which has recently been restored. The bowl is 11 inches in diameter and 4.25 inches high; the dinner plates are 10.5 inches and the dessert plates are 7.25 inches in diameter. (Dimensions listed below are for dinner plates.)

The designer was Jean Beaumont, who is known for designing some of the most ambitious and striking of Sevres' Art Deco vases and other pieces in the 1920s and 30s, and the ceramic artist who applied the glazes was Adrien-Auguste Leduc, who worked at Sèvres from 1923 until 1948. Made only two years after the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes was held in Paris, which gave the Art Deco style its name many years later, the theme of this charger -- and its stylized, elongated nudes...Category
