Sascha Brastoff (1917-1993) was an iconic midcentury designer and the founder of a successful production ceramics studio factory and line that operated in Los Angeles, California. Sascha Brastoff was a ceramicist during the midcentury era. From 1947 -1962, he headed a studio of artists who reproduced his designs on both functional and decorative pottery. Brastoff’s painted designs are fluid, intricate and definitely representative of mid century design in style and color. He was active in the Los Angeles area from 1947-1963 The production ware lines included dinnerware sets, vases, decorative plates, figurines and more. The wide range of series show Brastoff’s influences: theater and performance, futurism and abstraction, and the stylistic tastes of a midcentury Los Angeles. Sascha Brastoff was a successful Los Angeles ceramic designer at this time, who had a flair for promotion, mixing freely with Hollywood stars and celebrities. His bold, colourful and flamboyant creations fitted perfectly into this postwar era of adventurous ceramic design. Sascha began creating ceramics in New York in the early 40s. After a stint in the Air Force followed by working as a costume designer with Fox Studios in Hollywood, he set up a ceramics plant in West Los Angeles called Sascha Brastoff Product’s Incorporated with the backing of Winthorpe B. Rockefeller. In the mid 1960?s other art pottery makers such as Stangl and Royal Haeger were licensed to use Sascha’s name trademark. These items usually have a thick black cursive SB signature near the maker’s mark. His unique pieces, many displaying a modernist flair, have become a favourite with collectors.
