antique vintage and retro : porcelain
Porcelain (/'p??rs?l?n/) is a ceramic material made by heating materials, generally including a material like kaolin, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200 and 1,400 °C (2,200 and 2,600 °F). The strength, and translucence of porcelain, relative to other types of pottery, arises mainly from vitrification and the formation of the mineral mullite within the body at these high temperatures. Though definitions vary, porcelain can be divided into three main categories: hard-paste, soft-paste and bone china. The category that an object belongs to depends on the composition of the paste used to make the body of the porcelain object and the firing conditions.

Picturesque porcelain layer. Hortense RICHARD (1847-1900) Exorcist.

Intriguing porcelain layer. Hortense RICHARD (1847-1900). Caster. By James Bertrand. With a certain irony, he paints a musical duet or a contest between Euterpe and a nightingale. The patroness of music, sitting naked, struggles to match the night singer. Although their efforts are multi-directional, a rather graceful, albeit contradictory duet is emerging. The elongated vertical format and color scheme subtly stylize the ancient designs of Rome. Signature of the author at the bottom right. On the back of the sheet and frame are the name and data of the author`s Parisian workshop. Reservoir dimensions: 32 x 11.5 cm.

Ivan Puni. Ceramic candy bowl with pagoda glaze, mid-20th century.
sia antion, riga, latvia
IVAN ALBERTOVICH PUNI (1892-1956). LA PAGODE. A small ceramic candy bowl with a provocative signature on the back of La Pagode, Puni. In the title, the author probably alludes to the first floor of the pagoda - the basis of all syncretic spirituality. And then the monpasier folded in a pyramid turn into sacred truths. The form implements the organi-tech aesthetics, on which the honored masters of modernism worked in the middle of the 20th century: Picasso, Miro, Le Carbusier and Pugni. The candy bowl stylizes a living cage with spiritual color elements inside. It rests on three legs growing out of the body, typologically close to Saarinen and the basis of the universe. Size approx. 15 x 10 x 3.5 cm. Ivan Puni - Russian avant-garde artist, one of the representatives of futurism. After a brief artistic training in Paris, in 1912-1913, he moved to St. Petersburg. Together with the artist Ksenia Boguslavskaya, whom he was married to since 1913. Co-author of avant-garde exhibitions and shocking events. One of the organizers: 0.10, where Malevich presented Suprematism. This exhibition was a breakthrough in abstract painting. At this exhibition, Kazimir Malevich showed his Suprematist composition Black Square, which today is one of the main works of this trend in art. In parallel with this exhibition, Puni, Boguslavskaya, Malevich and Ivan Vasilyevich Klyun wrote the Manifesto on the Zero Point of Painting. After the revolution, he taught, among other things, at an art school in Vitebsk. Puni lived in Berlin from 1920. At the Great Berlin Art Exhibition in 1922, in the November Group section, one of his most famous works, The Synthetic Musician, was shown. In 1924 he emigrated to Paris, where he took the name Jean Pugni and died in 1956. Width: 10cm, Height: 15cm, Depth: 3.5cm, Weight: 1kg, Condition: Good, Material: Enamel, ID: 7756

Shalom Fresco with Son. Constantinople. Porcelain pair of mocha cups. 1920s
sia antion, riga, latvia
Porcelain pair of mocha cups with Asian decoration with flower petal motif. Shalom Fresco with Son. Constantinople. The inscription data from the stamp reveal the lost details of the Russian emigration in Turkey in the 1920s. They point to a probably Jewish manufacturer-merchant in Constantinople or Gallipoli who satisfied the nostalgic demand of the first wave of emigration. The hallmark typologically imitates the brands of Russian (in particular, Gardner) porcelain of the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Under the double-headed eagle there is an oval with an illiterate text: Shalom Fresco with the Son. Constantinople. The products themselves are European in form, Turkish in function, oriental in decor - they fit into a complex cocktail of life in the 1920s of the emigrant east. The origin from Serbia, as one of the points of Russian emigration, confirms the complex historical path of products. Bears cultural and historical value and memory of the tragic outcome of emigration. Cup height: 4 cm. Saucer diameter: 8.5 cm.
