About the Item

Large French Art Deco ceramic ship sculpture by Lejan, produced at the Orchies workshops in France during the 1920s. This impressive sculptural vessel features a bold architectural form enhanced by a crackle glaze finish in a rich green tone, characteristic of the innovative ceramic production of the Art Deco period. The dynamic silhouette and finely textured glaze reflect Lejan’s modernist approach, blending decorative appeal with strong sculptural presence. The piece is marked “Lejan” on the base (see photo), confirming its authenticity. Dimensions: Width: 16.5 in. (42 cm) Height: 19 in. (48.4 cm) Depth: 5.5 in. (14 cm) Condition: Very good vintage condition, with age-appropriate wear consistent with ceramic pieces from the period. A rare and visually powerful example of French Art Deco ceramics, ideal for collectors of architectural sculpture, nautical design, or signed French ceramic works from the early 20th century. Lejan was a French ceramic artist and manufacturer active in the 1920s and 1930s, closely associated with the renowned Orchies faience workshops in northern France. Lejan’s work is emblematic of the Art Deco movement, featuring strong geometric forms, architectural motifs, and expressive glazes, often including crackle finishes and deep, saturated colors.
