"Sigrid", Exceedingly Rare Art Deco Sculpture, Forest Green, Bopp Pottery

About the Item

A striking example of Art Deco ceramic sculpture, this female head was made by David Seyler for the Harold Bopp Pottery in northern Kentucky, in the brief period before it became the Kenton Hills pottery in 1940. Bopp had been the superintendent of Rookwood's famed pottery for years, until 1939 when he suggested certain innovations which were rejected by the owners. He began his own pottery, employing artists such as Seyler and William Hentschel. Given the extremely short period when Bopp's pottery operated under his own name, this piece is highly rare and unusual. This piece is enrobed in a shiny, forest green glaze, adding additional depth and mystery to the subject's expression.
