Art Deco Pottery
Beautiful Art Deco Pottery from this most sophisticated period, by Clarice Cliff, Susie Cooper, Shelley, Burleigh and other Art Deco Potters. In some ways pottery seems to have captured the essence of the art deco period as much as glass did. Especially the Jazz aspect through designers like Clarice Cliff and Susie Cooper.
The Art Deco Collector won't go far wrong in adding a few good quality pieces of deco pottery to their collection or in building them into their beautiful art deco interior design.
The ever popular art deco style is an architectural and decorative-arts style, popular from 1910 to 1940.
Art deco is characterised by highly stylised natural and geometric forms and ornaments, which are usually very symmetrical. Art Deco themes were often classical motifs reduced to geometric stylisations.
Art Deco glass uses geometric patterns, bold colours, exuberant, sometimes stylised, female figures, and animal motifs. Major designers of Art Deco glass were Rene Lalique, Maurice Marinot, Daum Freres, Marius Sabino, Etling, Schneider, Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, and Francois Decorchemont.
