Superb and rare "Patte d'Ours" or "Bear's Paw" cherry red enameled ceramic ashtray with black iron and rattan Stand, made by famous french ceramist Georges Jouve and french designer Mathieu Matégot, France 1951 Mint condition, ceramic signed by Jouve underneath. For his friend Mathieu Matégot, Georges Jouve made a handful of ceramics designed to go with the perforated metal furniture made by the decorator, emblematic of the spirit of freedom reigning over the 1950s in France. The perfect meeting of their respective inspiration becomes tangible here with the famous "Matégot" ashtray shaped like a bear's paw, made from 1951 onward in a range of monochrome enamels, sometimes crackled, matte or glossy. This model would be made in large numbers thanks to the casting technique. The association of the two freinds carried over into decoration projects. In 1954, Matégot and Jouve once again pooled their talents, in the project involving one of the very first organic restaurants in Paris, La Saladière, on Avenue des Ternes.

Back in the old days in Germany when you ordered Beer in a bar (Kneipe or Wirtshaus), you got it tapped directly in a clay or earthenware bottle. On the bottle was the name of the Innkeeper (Gastwirt) so you would know to which bar you had to return your bottle to. This clay or Stein bottles protected the beer from light and even made sure the beer in the bottle stayed a constant cool temperature for quite a while. The swing stopper closure, was invented in Germany and perfected around 1875 to keep the carbon acid and of course the fluid in the bottle. Later on this way of preservation was further perfected by adding rubber rings, like these bottle have. I found this wonderful antique bottles in Postdam, Germany. All five of these bottles are from Eastern Germany, from the area around Berlin to be exact. One of them says Dresden, One of them is stamped with A. Töpfer Crinitz. Three of them are hand painted with the 'Gastwirts' name, Julius Loh., J.Loh. and W.Horney. One is stamped: Edm. Queck Dresden N...
