Crafted in France circa 1916, this glazed porcelain sculpture by Édouard-Marcel Sandoz for Theodore Haviland captures the fluidity and tension of movement through a stylized depiction of a fish, its mouth agape as if emerging from a cresting wave. The form, both sculptural and functional, reflects Sandoz’s signature synthesis of naturalism and abstraction, with a refined sense of anatomical distortion that typified his approach to animal representation. The surface treatment is painted in raspberry pink—reminiscent of Chinese famille rose enamels—applied with controlled gradient transitions and set against a milky white ground that enhances the dynamism of the composition.
Known for his close collaborations with porcelain manufacturers, Sandoz brought artistic vigor to Haviland’s technical expertise, merging sculptural intent with precision ceramic craftsmanship.
