About the Item

One of the most brilliantly glazed Art Deco pieces we have ever offered, this vase depicts a seated female figure on each side, her head falling down in deep sleep, her jade-green robes deeply glowing. The bas relief figures are set in rondels of deep coral-hued glaze, with a ground of purplish-cobalt blue. The sculptor, Edouard Cazaux, along with his two brothers, became widely known for his Art Deco sculptures and vessels in the late 1920s through the 1930s. The three were a sensation at the 1937 Paris International Exhibition, where they created a fountain for the Basque pavilion, as well as a great ceramic mural. They received the exhibition’s prestigious Gold Medal and Edouard continued to build his reputation in Paris.

"Triton, Merman and Mermaid, " Sculptural Vase w/ Aquatic Motif and Nudes in Blue
By Edgardo Simone
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A masterful -- and brilliantly-hued -- example of high style Art Deco sculpture, this large and unique vase depicts several nude figures along its upper edge -- a Triton blowing his shell-horn on one side and a nude merman and mermaid embracing on the other. The sides of the vase are enlivened by a series of jumping dolphins, and the entire surface is glazed in streaky blues, pale greens and rich browns. The artist was Edgardo Simone, an eccentric and brilliant sculptor who worked in bronze, plaster and ceramics over several decades. He was born in Italy and trained in Rome, but spent much of his career in America, specializing in portrait busts. He sculpted the likenesses of Thomas Edison, John Pershing, Henry Ford, Louis Brandeis, Sally Rand, President Franklin Roosevelt...
