"Shepherd Boy and Lamb, " Ceramic Candlestick Influenced by Wiener Werkstatte

About the Item

This charming, unique glazed ceramic sculpture, designed to serve as a candleholder, was created by one of the master ceramicists at the famous Werkstatte in Vienna, or by an American craftsman influenced by their work. The shepherd boy, shading his eyes from the sun, is accompanied by a lamb who -- fully trusting his master -- is leaning against the boy's leg. The sculpture is glazed in pale shades of sand, dusty pink and slate blue, all with a lovely, understated craquelure.

  • "Shepherd and Shepherdess, " Monumental Art Deco Sculptures, Probably by De Vegh
    By Geza De Vegh
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    Monumental and dignified, this pair of Art Deco sculptures depict a shepherd and shepherdess, crisply shaped and stylized like the best of 1930s public sculpture, and painted in rich but subdued colors with an effect like sun-bleached stucco. It is our estimation that they were sculpted by Geza De Vegh, the Hungarian-American sculptor who created a range of pieces for the Lenox and Lamberton Scammell porcelain works, both in Trenton, New Jersey, as well as a group of rare ceramic pieces for the Phoenix Company. Importantly, De Vegh's work was very popular among set designers and art directors in Hollywood. His works are evident in the background of important Bette Davis films such as "The Letter," art directed by Carl Weyl; and "Now Voyager...
