We're sharing selections from our collection of art pottery, now in-stock at LEO Design, which reminds us of the Summer: the sea, the sky. This English Art Deco piece, made by Beswick in the Thirties, is a delicious combination of aqua glaze, topped with sponged-on cornflower "tendrils." The bright, optimistic coloration can only mean Summer. And the form—reminiscent of a fat penguin—adds to the piece's happy mien. It's large enough to make a statement on its own. It would also look wonderful anchoring a collection of aqueous ceramic vessels. Click on the photo above to learn more about it.
