Item Description
Sascha Brastoff (1918 - 1993) was an iconic mid-century modern designer, performer and founter of a successful ceramic factory called The Sascha Brastoff Ceramics Factory. Brastoff was active in Los Angeles, California from 1947 to 1963.
Sascha, born Samuel Brostofsky in Cleveland, Ohio in 1917, was entranced by the arts from a young age where he first found the performing arts and ballet with ceramics coming later on. Brastoff interestingly later held a position as a window display creator for Macy’s department store in New York City.
The current work is one of his fabulous resin moulded animal forms. The current work is in the form of a Hippopotamus with naturalistic decoration. The playful animal has an orange hue to it which almost shines with light.
Engraved signed underneath.
4 1/2"H x 10"L x 3 3/4"W
Condition: Good overall, the feet have foot pads but one foot pad is lost and could be replaced to protect the foot. Overall in good form and presents marvelously.
