About the Item

This large turquoise pot holder in glazed earthenware was made by the reknowned ceramist Théodore Deck at the end of the 19th century. Its beautiful blue, known as "Deck blue", has become the aesthetic signature of this artist. Théodore Deck initially trained as a stove maker. When he set up on his own in Paris in 1858, he made stove linings and, building on his success, moved into ceramics. The studio produced a large number of dishes, sometimes in collaboration with well-known painters. He gradually perfected his technique and enjoyed great success at the many World’s Fairs he took part in. In 1878, he was made an Officer of the Légion d’Honneur. He ran the Sèvres factory between 1887 and his death in 1891. The decoration reflects his fascination with the arts of the Far East. Inspired by Chinese vases from the late 19th century, it depicts dragons, fantastic creatures from the Asian imagination. The vase bears Deck's signature and seal.
