About the Item
Brilliantly glazed in hues of dark pumpkin, emerald green and ruddy putty, this unique ceramic sculpture of a shepherdess in a wide, pleated skirt embracing one of her lambs was created by the famed Primavera workshop, established by Le Printemps department store in Paris. The Atelier Primavera au Printemps, which employed a number of famous artists including René Buthaud, created some of France's finest Art Deco ceramic works in the 1930s, and this is an excellent example. The piece is heavy and substantial, and the glazes are rich and sure. The piece is clearly marked on the bottom.

- "Shepherd and Shepherdess, " Monumental Art Deco Sculptures, Probably by De VeghBy Geza De VeghLocated in Philadelphia, PAMonumental and dignified, this pair of Art Deco sculptures depict a shepherd and shepherdess, crisply shaped and stylized like the best of 1930s public sculpture, and painted in rich but subdued colors with an effect like sun-bleached stucco. It is our estimation that they were sculpted by Geza De Vegh, the Hungarian-American sculptor who created a range of pieces for the Lenox and Lamberton Scammell porcelain works, both in Trenton, New Jersey, as well as a group of rare ceramic pieces for the Phoenix Company. Importantly, De Vegh's work was very popular among set designers and art directors in Hollywood. His works are evident in the background of important Bette Davis films such as "The Letter," art directed by Carl Weyl; and "Now Voyager...Category
