"Phoenix in Black & Gold w/ Turquoise Ground", Art Deco-Mid Century Bowl/Dish

About the Item

Boldly designed and brilliantly glazed in tones of turquoise-aqua, jet black, white and gold, this dish sports an exotic phoenix bird resting on a filigreed tree branch, with one wing raised high. The colors are glorious, especially the full-bodied turquoise of the background. The artist was Waylande Gregory, 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 and later for WPA projects, institutions and public parks. A major retrospective of Gregory's work was recently organized by the University of Richmond's Museums. The dish is signed on the bottom.
