The surround is a lovely jade-green, mottled green glaze. The bottom shows the signature of Edouard Cazaux, one of the masters of Art Deco ceramics and sculpture in 1920s and 30s France. He studied at the Beaux Arts School in Sèvres as a young man, and participated in the famous Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes (which later gave the Art Deco style its name) in 1925, as part of the "Evolution of Style" exhibition in the Arthur Goldscheider pavilion. Old chips have been professionally repaired and restored. See less
