About the Item

Two stunning Art Deco polar bears in white and blue both with craquelé glazing by the French Ceramic L&V Ceram DAX company Both stamped with the L and V Ceram (ceram means ceramic in French) logo on the bottom and the blue one also has a clear DAX stamp on the front in the ceramic and the glaze. These two make a perfect set! Art-Deco at its best, a polar bear shaped in graphic styled lines. I couldn't resist buying them and you can probably see why. Note: the blue one has a little chip on the back side!
