Art Deco Bookends with Pan Motif, Denver technical school
About the Item
A remarkable bit of inspired juvenalia, this pair of heavy ceramic bookends created by a female student at Middle Technical High School in Denver, one of the nation's leading technical high schools, depicts a nude Pan figure playing the pipes in a a highly stylized Art Deco design. Dorothy F's luscious milky glaze may show the influence of a Denver pottery known for this technique and whose artists may have served as teachers or advisors to the school. This pair is signed and dated "1934."
