About the Item
Here is a wonderful and rare glazed ceramic decorated horse by Primavera (Atelier d'Art du Printemps) and attributed to Colette Gueden (1905-2000). We believe this unique, substantial piece was made in the 1930's. Its blocky, cubist form and its Weiner Werkstatte-like decoration is the embodiment of the art deco era. The horse is signed on the underside PRIMAVERA and is in good condition with some small chips or glaze flakes. We've tried to capture these in the photographs. There area also some areas where the terracotta clay is exposed, most notably on the face--this is not damage, but rather an area where the blue glaze was thinly applied. There is also a firing crack (from manufacture) along the neck. None of these slight imperfections detract for the presentation of this rare, unique piece.
About Primavera and Colette Gueden:
Primavera was created in 1912 by René Guilleré, founder the of the Society of Decorative Artists, and Pierre Laguionie, the manager of Le Printemps, the Parisian department store, as the store’s design firm. Its name, meaning “Spring” in Latin, was a play on the store’s own, which means the same in French, and its stated mission was to make modern decorative objects—objects of beauty—more accessible to a growing middle class. Before its creation, no large-scale department store in Paris had bothered creating its own lines.
Colette Gueden was born in Indochina in 1905. She studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Saint-Etienne, France and graduated in 1928. She began working as a designer for Primavera in 1927 progressing to a managerial role in 1934 and director in 1938. In addition to ceramics, she also created furniture, jewelry, and wallpapers.
