A 19th century Blue And Bronze Inkwell By Théodore Deck
About the Item
This 19th century blue enamelled earthenware inkwell was made circa 1880 by famous French ceramic artist Théodore Deck. Deck was well-known for the glazes that he developed, especially a rich turquoise blue that became known in French as 'Bleu de Deck'. The inkwell is decorated in a Chinese style with twin masks. This rare bronze hinged cover is beautifully decorated with an oriental style relief and acorn final. It's the first time we came across this type of bronze hinged cover. Bronze cover possibly made by Ferdinand Barbedienne, a famous French metal worker. Barbedienne’s atelier created sculptures, clocks and bronze mounts of the highest quality in the 19th century France. Mark on underside 'TH DECK' for Théodore Deck, together with a number.
Condition: A few hairlines on the glaze, chipped ceramic edges on the base. Otherwise good antique condition.
Measurements: approx. 8cm width, 11cm height including final, width of the sides: 6 cm.
