large slip-cast ceramic sculpture (ceramic with added kaolin, also known as soft porcelain), hand-glazed and decorated, vitrified, depicting a crying child, signed by the goldscheider manufactory, with a catalog number and the artist’s signature, and bearing the stamped signature “rozé” (albert dominique rozé), an important french sculptor who frequently collaborated with the austrian goldscheider manufactory. The sculpture exhibits excellent sculptural quality; note the child’s tender expressiveness as he cries after being spanked on the bottom with a broom, which has even broken. Beautiful soft colors in classic art nouveau hues, with a particularly brilliant and thick glaze. Goldscheider boasts numerous auction results, which have achieved remarkable prices—exceeding 10,000 to 15,000 euros for the most important art deco sculptures, and even surpassing 20,000 euros for the largest orientalist terracotta sculptures. The sculptor albert-dominique roze is also a prominent artist who collaborated with various european manufacturers, including the famous goldscheider. He has several auction results to his credit: according to artprice, there are 57 works in the “sculptures” category, and the four highest results range from 1,279 to 3,000 euros, excluding auction fees, which are generally 25–30%.

information about the artist and/or manufacturer

the goldscheider workshop was undoubtedly one of the most important european manufacturers of the late 1800s and early 1900s. It distinguished itself above all for its orientalist terracottas, art nouveau slip-cast ceramics—such as the one we are offering here—and art deco ceramic figures of ladies. Albert dominique rozé was an important french sculptor, best known for creating the golden virgin that once stood atop notre dame cathedral; it was destroyed during world war i and rebuilt in 1929. this piece has an attribution mark,
