Fabulous 1920's Art Deco Anne Fish "Charleston Dancers" Doorstop #270 by Hubley
By Hubley Manufacturing Company 2
Located in Red Lion, PA
This exceptional 1920s Hubley cast iron doorstop, “Charleston Dancers,” No. 270, was designed by the celebrated British-born artist Anne Harriet Fish (later Anne Sefton) and captures the exuberant, lighthearted spirit of the Roaring Twenties. The sculptural doorstop depicts a dancing couple in close embrace, joyfully moving across the floor as they dance the Charleston late into the night, an iconic image of Jazz Age energy and modernity.
Anne Harriet Fish was born in Bristol, England, and trained as a painter working in both oils and watercolors. After relocating to New York City, she became a prominent illustrator for Vanity Fair and Vogue, including the celebrated April 1917 Vanity Fair cover. During World War I, German-made porcelain doll heads became unavailable in the United States, prompting Fulper Pottery of Flemington, New Jersey, originally founded in 1909 as a stoneware pottery, to establish a new line of porcelain doll heads. When the postwar market for these products collapsed, Fulper pivoted to producing ceramic novelties, hiring Anne Fish in the early 1920s to contribute her distinctive, expressive designs.
Fish’s success in ceramic design led to her collaboration with Hubley Manufacturing Company, for whom she designed seven iconic cast iron doorstops, now among the most desirable in the field of American folk and decorative arts:
No. 269 – The Tiger
No. 249 – The Messenger Boy
No. 268 – The Parlor Maid
No. 250 – Bathing Girls
No. 270 – Charleston Dancers
No. 222 – Small Footmen
No. 248 – Large Footmen
Anne Fish’s Hubley doorstops are characteristically numbered on the back and bear a copyright mark, with her name “FISH” painted on the front base, often in black. Likely influenced by her background in ceramics, her designs were finished with a distinctive high-gloss surface, a feature that has worn away on many surviving examples.
This example is in beautiful antique condition, having been gently cleaned with minor professional paint restoration. It retains excellent surface presence and sculptural detail, with a richness and charm that exemplify Fish’s playful yet sophisticated approach to design.
A highly collectible example of Hubley cast iron, Anne Fish doorstops...

"Pompeii" Memory Jug by Michael Thompson
By Michael Thompson
Located in Chicago, IL
Based in Chicago, IL, contemporary artist Michael Thompson creates unique kites, collages and mixed media works assembled from material fragments of past and present collected in his travels. In his ongoing series of memory jugs, Thompson adorns stoneware vessels with a kaleidoscope of ceramic shards, found objects, and pocket-sized trinkets he collected over the course of his life.
Also known as forget-me-not jugs or spirit jars, memory jugs are African American folk art objects that honor a loved one who has recently passed. Small tokens and mementos of the deceased are gathered and affixed to the exterior of a jug or vase, an abundance of memories that celebrates a life lived to the fullest.
Michael Thompson applies this tradition to his own practice, creating tactile assemblages of this and that. Formed in the manner of collage, each jug honors the lost memories of generations past and his own memories of personally discovering each item. With varied sources for materials including Kyoto, Turkey, and Mexico, a great number of the found shards are 18th and 19th century ceramics...

Dean Kugler is a seasoned interdisciplinary artist, painter, and figurative sculptor. His 3D work is featured primarily at Gallery Victor Armendariz in Chicago. In the last three years, Dean has also been featured at Abend Gallery in Denver, The Figge Art Museum, and Bereskin Gallery in Iowa. He has shown at SOFA Chicago in 2017, 2018, and 2019 and participated in ArtPrize in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
He sees himself primarily as a sculptor due to the challenges he finds and thrives on within the process. In all its beauty, crudeness, and subtleties, the figure offers infinite opportunities to express feelings and emotions. There is also a physicality to sculpture that requires the work to be experienced through movement in order to reveal more about the piece.
Dean has always been drawn to the interactive nature of large-scale sculpture that is available to the public - he loves the idea that his work entices the observer to go beyond what they can see and add tactility to the experience. By using both realism and abstraction, he creates a visual that challenges the viewer to resolve what they are seeing. Therefore, providing a greater connection between the artist and the viewer.
