High Style Art Deco Vase/Lamp Base w/ Mayan Influence, 1930s, by Glidden Parker
About the Item
Masterfully carved -- not molded -- and bathed in a textured, rich brown glaze, this very early lamp base/vase by Glidden Parker is a superb example of Art Deco artistry by one of the upcoming masters in Mid Century design. A graduate of Alfred University's pioneering ceramics program, Parker went on to found the Glidden pottery, which had a huge influence on dishware design and art pottery in the 1940s and 50s, not just in America but also in Italy. Designed to serve as a lamp base but never fitted, this piece can also serve as a vase or tabletop sculpture.

- "Exchange of Cultures, " High Style Art Deco Porcelain Lamp Base w/ Nudes by RobjBy ROBJLocated in Philadelphia, PAIllustrated in "Ceramiche Robj" and considered a major design by the renowned sculptor and ceramicist, this large piece was probably made in early 1930s to coincide with the debut of the Exposition Coloniale Internationale in Paris, which attracted almost 9 million visitors in less than a year. Rare and striking, this porcelain table lamp base depicts the globe surmounted by a tightly composed cluster of nude and semi-nude female figures representing cultures around the world. The women depicted here, all glazed in a gorgeous snow-white glaze highlighted in gold, are clearly representing a range of nations in Asia and Africa, probably coinciding with the nations that were part of the French Colonial Empire in the 1930s, before they won their freedom. Much like the one surviving building from the Exposition, now the Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration, which features a massive bas relief mural...Category
