"Scene from Northern Basque Country, " Monumental Art Deco Platter, Sèvres, 1936
About the Item
Brilliantly designed by Jean Beaumont and beautifully glazed by Charles Fritz for the famed Sèvres Porcelain works in 1936, this enormous, unique platter depicts a Basque farmworker driving two bulls through the countryside, with a lovely fountain in the foreground, and a local village and mountains in the background. Beaumont is known for designing some of the most ambitious and striking of Sevres' Art Deco vases and other pieces, and here he surrounds the scene with a complex Art Deco border teeming with Basque folk art symbols as well as chevrons and geometric patterns. The platter is bathed in snowy-white and sand-colored glazes, and is well-marked on the reverse.

View All"Nudes in Paradise, " Spectacular Wall Charger, High Style Art Deco by Sevres
By Jean Beaumont
Located in Philadelphia, PA
One of the most spectacular high style Art Deco pieces we have ever offered, this large wall charger depicting two female nudes and a deer in an idyllic, color-drenched garden was made in 1927 by the famed Sevres porcelain manufactory in France. The designer was Jean Beaumont, who is known for designing some of the most ambitious and striking of Sevres' Art Deco vases and other pieces in the 1920s and 30s, and the ceramic artist who applied the glazes was Adrien-Auguste Leduc, who worked at Sèvres from 1923 until 1948. Made only two years after the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes was held in Paris, which gave the Art Deco style its name many years later, the theme of this charger -- and its stylized, elongated nudes...

"Mermaid with Dolphins & Starfish", Rare & Ambitious Art Deco Platter, Mequinion
By Roger Mequinion
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Large and bold, this Art Deco ceramic platter featuring a mermaid trumpeting a shell and embracing a dolphin while another dolphin and starfish are cavorting in the water nearby, was made Roger Mequinion, who produced an entirely unique series of ceramic pieces with thick layers of glaze that he sandblasted to create a layered, three-dimensional design. Here, the outer glaze is a deep red color, but the sandblasting reveals layers of light red and white underneath. Mequinion was the first sculptor to work for René Lalique, and helped the master develop a sandblasting technique for his early glass...
