Art Deco Figure, Harlequin with Flute by Josef Kostial, Goldscheider Vienna
Located in Vienna, AT
Very rare Art Deco Goldscheider ceramic figure of the 1920s. Depiction of Till Eulenspiegel in a uniform costume with brown ribbons, framed by a black zigzag pattern, with matching shoes, a large ruff and a brown fool's cap, leaning on a pedestal covered with a colored cloth and playing a flute. On a black oval base with the artist's signature 'Kostial' on the back of the pedestal. Originally from Germany, Till Eulenspiegel allegedly lived as a wandering rogue in the 14th century, born around 1300 in Kneitlingen near Brunswick. He traveled around the Holy Roman Empire and other parts of Europe, as a country traveler he became the protagonist of a Middle Low German collection of swans, which was first published by a Strasbourg publisher without naming an author long after his death around 1510. In later illustrations, the fool's cap became his most important attribute and distinguishing mark, often with 'Donkey ears' and / or bells occupied. 'Eulenspiegel' made his main entrance in English- speaking culture late in the 19th century as 'Owlglass', but was first mentioned in English literature by Ben Jonson in his comedic play The Alchemist. Designed by Josef KOSTIAL...

Antique and Vintage Ceramics for Sale: Shop Figurines, Vases and Scandinavian Pottery on 1stDibs

Whether you’re adding an eye-catching mid-century modern glazed stoneware bowl to your dining table or grouping a collection of decorative plates by color for the shelving in your living room, decorating and entertaining with antique and vintage ceramics is a great way to introduce provocative pops of colors and textures to a space or family meals.

Ceramics, which includes pottery such as earthenware and stoneware, has had meaningful functional value in civilizations all over the world for thousands of years. When people began to populate permanent settlements during the Neolithic era, which saw the rapid growth of agriculture and farming, clay-based ceramics were fired in underground kilns and played a greater role as important containers for dry goods, water, art objects and more.

Today, if an Art Deco floor vase, adorned in bright polychrome glazed colors with flowers and geometric patterns, isn’t your speed, maybe minimalist ceramics can help you design a room that’s both timeless and of the moment. Mixing and matching can invite conversation and bring spirited contrasts to your outdoor dining area. The natural-world details enameled on an Art Nouveau vase might pair well with the sleek simplicity of a modern serving bowl, for example.

In your kitchen, your cabinets are likely filled with ceramic dinner plates. You’re probably serving daily meals on stoneware dishes or durable sets of porcelain or bone china, while decorative ceramic dishes may be on display in your dining room. Perhaps you’ve anchored a group of smaller pottery pieces on your mantelpiece with some taller vases and vessels, or a console table in your living room is home to an earthenware bowl with a decorative seasonal collection of leaves, greenery and acorns.

Regardless of your tastes, however, it’s possible that ceramics are already in use all over your home and outdoor space. If not, why? Whatever your needs may be, find a wide range of antique and vintage ceramics on 1stDibs.
