About the Item

Whimsical and vividly glazed, this fabulous, unique Art Deco bowl depicts two contrasting scenes from a rural seaside village: a father and son fishing at the shore, and a young woman and man, the former offering a piece of fruit to the latter like a modern day Eve and Adam. Probably crafted in Italy in the 1930s, the bowl is brilliantly hued, with gorgeous tones of cobalt, rust and lemon.

"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...
