Adapted from online sources: Sascha Brastoff was a ceramist known for designing and producing a wide range of porcelain functional and sculptural ceramic forms. From 1947 to 1962 Brastoff developed an atelier of artists to produce his designs of intricately hand decorated tableware and home decor items. Sgraffito and gold lusters were among the numerous decorative techniques used. Multiple firings were often needed to produce each item.In 1947 Winthrop P. Rockefeller backed Brastoff in his first California atelier focused on the design and production of high-quality porcelain dinnerware and decorative ceramics. Brastoff had 3 business locations in the Los Angeles area. The first was in a small Quonset hut in West Los Angeles and the last was a state-of-the-art studio/factory which opened in 1953. At its height, Brastoff’s designs were produced by up to 100 staff artists, production assistants, and administrative personnel. In 1962 Brastoff returned to the life of a solo studio artist concentrating on enamelwork, oil painting, and drawing. By 1984, poor health caused Brastoff to cease working.Note: In addition to the ceramics career outlined above, Brastoff had trained as a ballet dancer and was an actor, metal sculptor, and jeweler. Measures 3 3/4" in diameter x 8 1/2" tall.
