About the Item

Hinting at the demimonde of Paris after World War II, this rare and atmospheric bowl/platter depicts a lamp post flanked by a sailor with his cap and bandanna, and a blonde woman in a tight sweater and pair of fashionable Capri pants. The setting is a rundown section of the city, probably near the docks, and the ragtag background of houses and the striped alley cat complete the picture. This piece was made by the famed Ruscha ceramic works, one of several that produced a wide range of highly-creative art wares after the War.
