Ceramics by Theodore Deck, 1823 - 1891

Theodore Deck (1823 - 1891) began his career as a stove-maker, working first in Vienna, where he produced stoves for Schönbrunn Palace, and after 1847, in Paris. At the Exposition Universelle held in Paris in 1855, he was so impressed by the Minton factory's brightly coloured majolica wares that he decided to produce his own. The following year, he opened a factory for 'artistic faience.' Inspired by the designs and colours of Turkish Iznik wares, he developed his own range of colours, including a distinctive turquoise known as 'bleu Deck.' Deck employed a number of noted artists to work for him and continued to exhibit in the various international exhibitions, winning a wide following both in England and America as well as in France. Deck derived inspiration from both Near Eastern and Asian ceramics.
