About the Item

A brilliant and early example of enamel art in America, this footed bowl depicts a fish bowl sitting on a long table, with a Classical-Art Deco chair against one wall, and figured curtains at the window. The color palette is beautiful, with somber ivory and black tones contrasting with gorgeous blues, pinks and purples. The artist was Edward Winter, one of America's first masters of enamel art, and this very fine example shows his application of the fine arts, including printmaking and painting, to enamel work, newly embraced by American artists in the 1930s-1940s. Winter attended the Cleveland Institute of Art and studied in Vienna before teaching at the Cleveland School of Art.

"Triton with Dolphin", Art Deco Low Bowl in Blue with Aquatic Creatures, France
By Roger Mequinion
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Bold and striking, this unique low bowl or plate depicts a form of Triton that is part man, part horse and part fish -- known as an ichthyocentaur -- who is cavorting in the sea with a dolphin and starfish, with rows of waves below and around him. The artist was Roger Mequinion, who produced an entirely unique series of ceramic pieces with thick layers of glaze that he sandblasted to create a layered, three-dimensional design. Here, the outer glaze is a deep blue color, but the sandblasting reveals layers of light blue and white underneath. Mequinion was the first sculptor to work for René Lalique, and helped the master develop a sandblasting technique for his early glass...
