About Erte: Erte, whose real name was Romain de Tirtoff, was a highly influential Russian-born artist and designer known for his significant contributions to the Art Deco movement. He was born on November 23, 1892, in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and later became a French citizen. Erte's pseudonym comes from the French pronunciation of his initials, "R.T." He was a versatile artist with talents spanning various artistic mediums, including fashion design, costume design, jewelry, set design, graphic arts, and more. He gained widespread fame for his elegant and glamorous fashion illustrations that epitomized the Art Deco style. During the 1920s and 1930s, Erte's work became synonymous with the luxurious and opulent aesthetics of the Art Deco era. He worked for Harper's Bazaar, where his illustrations appeared regularly on the magazine's covers and within its pages, becoming iconic representations of the era's fashion and lifestyle. Erte's designs often featured elongated and sinuous figures, draped in flowing garments and adorned with geometric patterns, feathers, and bold motifs. He drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including classical Greek and Roman art, Egyptian art, and Oriental motifs, which he blended with a modernist sensibility. In addition to his fashion illustrations, Erte was also renowned for his work in theater and film. He created elaborate and stunning costume and set designs for productions on both stage and screen, collaborating with renowned performers and directors of his time. Throughout his long and illustrious career, Erte continued to create art and designs that transcended the boundaries of the Art Deco period. Even after the decline of the Art Deco movement, his work remained highly sought after, and he continued to produce new pieces until his passing. Erte's artistic legacy lives on, and his contributions to the world of art and design continue to be celebrated and admired by art enthusiasts and collectors alike. His influence can still be seen in contemporary art and fashion, making him a timeless and cherished figure in the history of the decorative arts.

Royal Doulton

The redoubtable British ceramics maker Royal Doulton has long embraced popular tastes and enjoys a devoted following among aficionados of English pottery. Some are drawn to the company’s intricately decorated bone china dinner services; others are passionate collectors of Royal Doulton’s artfully hand-painted vases, bowls and figurines.

When founded in 1815 in the Lambeth section of suburban London, Doulton & Co. produced bottles and other storage containers and even sewer pipes in stoneware, a cheap but durable cousin of porcelain. Amid the Victorian era’s rising concern for hygiene, food safety and sanitation, the company flourished. And in the late 1870s Doulton expanded its business into the applied arts.

The firm took over a factory in Staffordshire, in northern England — the traditional home of British ceramics manufacturing — to produce tableware. Around the same time, Doulton opened an art-pottery studio in Lambeth, where vases, urns and other forms were decorated with painted scenic images, flowers or historical motifs. Taking a cue from the venerable Meissen porcelain workshops in Germany, Doulton artisans began crafting figurines modeled on characters from literature and theater. The firm also helped popularize Toby Jugs and other “character mugs” — handled cups shaped as the heads of figures from folklore and popular culture. King Edward VII granted the company the Royal Warrant in 1901.

Royal Doulton china will always make an elegant yet not-too-formal appearance in a traditional table setting. Prices for dinner services vary according to size, age and condition, but generally range from $2,000 to $15,000. Royal Doulton art pottery might be used by some as a bright decorative note; others collect the company’s figurines with the same interest and dedication as stamp and coin enthusiasts. A typical Toby Jug might fetch $50, while very rare figurines can sell for $7,000. Most of the finest Royal Doulton art pottery pieces sell for around $500. As you will see on these pages, few decorative-arts companies are as aesthetically and stylistically diverse as Royal Doulton. The firm truly offers something for everyone.
