"Zodiac Bowl/Charger", Monumental Art Deco Low Bowl in Rusty Red and Gold, 1920s

About the Item

Large, substantial and visually stunning, this unique Art Deco low bowl -- designed to hang on a wall or sit on a table -- features the twelve Zodiac symbols, beautifully designed and executed by Belgian artist Ernest d'Hossche. d'Hossche worked for many years at the Boch ceramic company, which employed hundreds of workers at its two locations -- La Louvière (Keramis) and Tournai (Boch Freres). Later he went on to serve as head designer for the firm, producing many superb pieces, including a modern series of dishes premiered at the Brussels World's fair in 1958, the first fair of its kind after World War II. The piece is fully marked and signed on the bottom.

"Salome with Head of John the Baptist", Unique Art Deco Charger, Ericson
By Estrid Ericson
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Elegant and beautifully crafted, this superb example of Swedish Grace artisanry was made by the famed Svenskt Tenn workshop in Sweden, which produced a wide range of artisan-designed and made sculptures and home goods, often in pewter, as here. Svenskt Tenn was founded in 1924 by Estrid Ericson, who brought together an astounding array of artists such as Josef Frank and Anna Petrus, many now world-renowned, to create a wide range of objects. Ericson herself was known for creating works in pewter with patterns or designs incised in the metal, so this piece is attributed to her artistry. Here she depicts Salome, holding the head of John the Baptist...
