Description

This baluster-shaped eartheware vase is glazed in a deep turquoise color that was sometimes called "Deck Bleu" for Theédore Deck, the earlier French ceramist who developed it. Based on a more ornate vase by Jean-Jacques's father, Edmond Lachenal, it is in the bold and simple idiom of the Art Deco era. This example is decorated with a uniform glaze and a hissing lizard whose arching body forms a handle.
