CERAMICS, ART DECO; ANTIQUES AND COLLECTIBLES BY

WAYLANDE GREGORY 1905-1971

The art deco collectibles of Waylande Gregory are highly sought after since each one is individually designed, never duplicated. Included are also the plaques (chargers) and the larger art deco vases of the 1930's.



                       FLAME

   3/4 Life Size; Part glazed ceramic; 1938.  
   Gregory had already been successful in 
   the execution of the larger size ceramic 
   sculptures; The Swimmer, The Bather and
   then continued with FLAME, depicted as a 
   delicate young female engulfed in fire of 
   attractive glazes of deep reds and yellows.  
   This was a prelude to his intended 1939 NY 
   World's Fair project which he depicted as a 
   more mature female, menancing, forboding 
   and very forceful in its movement and design.  
   It also has less glazes and rougher texture 
   resembling bricks in a hot oven after the 
   black soot was burned off by high fire.
