$100.49
A charming and highly decorative German Art Deco porcelain night light modelled as a pair of polar bears set upon an icy base. The larger bear stands alert while the smaller bear leans forward inquisitively, creating a beautifully balanced and sculptural composition typical of the period’s fascination with Arctic themes and stylised animal forms. The glazing is particularly appealing, with soft icy blue tonal washes over a creamy white ground, enhancing the sense of movement and form. The eyes are picked out in warm amber tones, adding life and character to the piece. Designed as a night light, the rear accommodates a fitting, allowing the porcelain to glow softly when illuminated, highlighting the subtle modelling and glaze effects. Rewired for Australian conditions and ready for use. A striking example of Art Deco animalier design, combining functionality with strong decorative presence. Condition is excellent, with no damage or losses, and only minimal age-related marks consistent with period. Dimensions approximately:Height 18 cmWidth 14 cmDepth 7 cm
