Organically shaped wall-mounted floating console table shelf in walnut trim and set with ~130 individual art tiles created by ceramicist Jean Nison (1922-2015). This work was custom made for the 90 Riverside Drive apartment of Jacques and Alina Roisen, circa 1959 together with an architectural sideboard-buffet and a curved wall with floating cabinets which we have listed separately. (ref: LU886622968512 and LU886622682472) and are also decorated with tile murals by Jean Nison. Jean was very experimental with her use of glazes and colors and it took many firings to achieve her desired effect including the many bubbles which give them a rich texture. Her work was exhibited at Gumps, Helena Rubinstein and America House. To obtain commissions she would go around to the offices of architects and decorators and leave samples of her work.

A fine quality Danish art pottery mustard or jam pot by Arne Bang, the reeded beige stoneware base with a teak cover decorated with a silver and bone finial, together with its original handmade sterling silver spoon with bone handle. Signed and numbered with AB monogram and 128 on the base. Arne Bang (1901-1983) was a celebrated Danish sculptor and ceramicist who grew up in a family of artists. His father was a painter; his sister a ballet dancer, and his brother was a glass designer and architect, with whom Arne often collaborated. Bang studied sculpture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen from 1920-1925 and again from 1928-1929. With his brother, he traveled to Paris in 1925 to contribute to the Danish Pavilion at the World Exposition.
