About the Item

Glazed in gorgeous jewel tones, emerald green and sapphire blue, this unique and extraordinary Art Deco bowl was created by an artistic husband-and-wife team in France: Auguste and Odette Chatrousse Heiligenstein. Auguste was sometimes known for the design of elaborate pieces such as this, thus his signature on the bottom, but Odette was known for executing his designs in a gorgeous array of glazes, thus her "OHC" mark, also on the bottom. This scene shows the mermaid queen, her hair floating in the water, holding branches of seaweed and accompanied by several exotic fish. The figures are outlined in gold, another characteristic of Heiligenstein's work.

"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...
