Waylande Desantis Gregory Ceramics

A charming plate/serving charger with monkey decoration by Waylande Gregory.

This lovely oblong dish features one of the classic subjects of high style Art Deco design -- the leaping antelope -- but in other respects it is highly unusual. It is an early work of Waylande Gregory for Cowan Pottery, before he struck out on his own in the 1930s, and it is finished with a striking, speckled glaze in a rich, burnt sienna color, with a touch of green in the depths of the dish. Gregory was one of America's greatest sculptors and ceramicists before and after World War II. He was prodigious and indefatigable, producing a wide range of sculptures and wares in ceramic during his years working with Lorado Taft...

Prodigious and indefatigable, Waylande Gregory produced 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 of his favorite motifs was the polo player, which he used to decorate lamp bases, vases, and a range of dishes for the table. This rare vase, with polo players in varying poses, probably dates from the 1930s. This example is glazed in white and a deep ocher; Gregory also did a similar vase in charcoal gray. It is marked "Waylande Gregory Studios."
