"Women with Baskets, " Rare Pair of Art Deco Decorated Plates, Italy

About the Item

Painted with freshness and sophistication, this pair of Italian Art Deco plates depict elegant female figures, each balancing baskets on their heads, striding toward a tower in the distance. One in a blue Classical robe, with her Art Deco hair flying back, is moving toward a stylized multi-storied building, while the other is looking toward a pair of sailing ships near a towered island. The palette -- ocean blue, oxblood and forest green -- is vividly applied.

"Mermaid with Dolphins & Starfish", Rare & Ambitious Art Deco Platter, Mequinion

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...
