"Lidded Jar in Cobalt Blue", Rare Art Deco Ceramic by Felix Massoul

About the Item

In an era when French artists and sculptors were taking inspiration from Africa, Asia and the Near East, this Art Deco covered jar by Felix Massoul shows his indebtedness to Persia and other ancient civilizations. Its deep, gorgeous glaze is a color somewhere between Persian blue and cobalt, and its abstracted foliate motifs suggest exotic places outside of France. Massoul was known for ceramics that incorporated geometric and abstract patterns uniquely his own. This piece was sold at Christies years ago, and the auction house label remains with the piece. It is clearly signed on the bottom.
