Iridescent Brown Earthenware Poodle Sculpture, 1940s - Ls3691251

Iridescent brown earthenware sculpture figuring a groomed poodle with short coat on its body and curly long hair on its paws and head, head turned to left, with a yellow necklace around its neck. Its eyes are in sulphide.

Work realized in the 1940’s.

The metallic glazing earthenware is a type of ceramic with an iridescent glaze containing metallic particles, creating a glazed effect when light is reflected on enamel. The firing of this earthenware type is realized with a lower temperature than the initial firing of the enamelled item for glossy metals particles don’t become mat.
