Description
Hand painting on the high fired molded ceramic pitcher has brought out the camel image even more. Gilding, blue, yellow and black glazes together form the camel painting with its trappings. The image has a water color like effect with a blurring of the edges. Small trees by the handle are embellished with plumes of white. Reserve spots on the background look like falling snow.
A stamped gold mark on the base reads “Sascha Brastoff CALIFORNIA USA B54” with a rooster above. A portion of the S from “Sascha” is missing. Sascha Brastoff, ( 1917-1993 ) was one of the most famous names in pottery during the 1950's and this is a very fine example of his ceramic artistry.
MEASUREMENTS
6 in (15.2 cm) wide x 5 in (12.7 cm) diameter x 7 ¼ in (18.4 cm) tall. Weighs 1 lb 8.9 oz (710 g)
CONDITION
There is a rim chip by the spout. There are no other chips, cracks, or breaks. There is a rust stain on the neck inside of the pitcher. The gilding and enamels are in very good condition.
A hand painted work of art by Sascha Brastoff that stands the test of time. I love the water color effect with the snow falling.
