About the Item
Joyous and buoyant, this scene of four nude gods and goddesses, each with blue striped capes, cavorting in the clouds above, was designed and executed by the great Jean-Leon Mayodon for the legendary Sèvres porcelain works. The figures are glazed in jet black, set off by a background of gold-veined ivory glaze, and bordered by gray -- and more gold veining. Mayodon created a great variety of ceramic pieces with mythological themes, usually gods and goddesses romping across the land or sea with great joy, sometimes from his own studio, at times working with famed makers such as Sèvres. The piece is dated 1950 and monogrammed by Mayodon on the bottom.

"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...
