Mid-Century Modern Eugene Deutch Glazed Ceramic Pitcher

About the Item

This glazed ceramic pitcher was made by noted Hungarian-born studio potter Eugene Deutch (1904-1959). Deutch studied under modernist sculptor Constantin Brancusi in Paris before emigrating to the United States and establishing a studio in Chicago. His work was exhibited in solo shows at the Dallas museum of art and the art institute of Chicago among others, and is held in the permanent collections of several museums and private collections. This Deutch modernist pitcher has been finished in a rich brown glaze with green undertones beneath the spout. The biomorphic design marries form with function and features pinched sides intended to replace the need for a separate handle. The underside of the piece is signed E. Deutch in script and dated 1951. This ceramic pitcher displays beautifully and would be a great addition to a collection of American art pottery. An iconic piece from a highly regarded and influential artist.

Riessner & Kessel Amphora Turn Teplitz Two-Handled Vase with Iridized Glaze
By Reissner Stellmacher & Kessel
Located in Cincinnati, OH
This striking amphora Art Nouveau vase was made in the Turn-Teplitz region of Bohemia by Riessner, Stellmacher & Kessel, established in 1892. The vase has an ovoid form with a thick molded floral and foliate band located at the neck. The body of the vase rests upon a raised pedestal foot decorated with a series of intertwined stylized roots. The neck and foot have been glazed in a matte green color with burnished gold highlights. The body of the vase is flanked by a pair of arched gilded handles made in the form of naturalistic woody branches. The body of the vase has been finished in a mottled matte glaze executed in a dull gold color enabling the cream color beneath to show through. The center of the vase transitions to a violet hue which is covered by a high glaze iridescent band having pink and purple undertones. The iridescent band features an armorial crest executed in black accented with gilded details. The crest itself consists of a checkerboard shield surmounted by a trio of stylized flowers with a spade motif, all of which are flanked by lions rampant. The design includes a series of large dots arrayed in a symmetrical manner. The opposite side of the vase echoes the motif found on the front and has a checkerboard shield, nine spade-shaped flowers and several dots. The vase is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. As an antique item, the piece shows minor signs of age and use consisting of wear to the gilded decoration. The vase stands 11.75" tall and is 2.25" across the mouth. The foot is just over 5" in diameter and bears impressed marks including a circular ''Imperial Amphora Turn...
