Item Description
This is an antique porcelain floral vase from Noritake. The vase is floral with an opalescence finish and a gold trim. The vase is still very bight and beautiful with some wear on the gold trim. Produced in Japan. Excellent condition with some wear.
These examples of lusterware were made between 1926 and 1931. The designs were created on West 23rd Street in Manhattan, shipped to Japan as color drawings and then hand painted onto bisque porcelain bodies, fired, and finally exported back to the United States.
What makes these items so alluring are their exaggerated motifs, use of asymmetry of design, exquisite craftsmanship, quality of materials in both the porcelain and the glaze, and their rich color tones—all at work to exude a vibrancy of spirit typical of the age.
To many Americans across the country, these porcelains represented the excitement and allure of New York and Paris during this period of the “roaring twenties.” Unfortunately, the depression put an end to this lively expression and by 1931, it had largely disappeared.
These pieces are from the collection of Dr.’s Judith and Martin Schwartz. They have been donated to ArtsWestchester, with all proceeds to be used in support of its diverse art activities.
