Decoration for Stoneware 1935 - 1942

This design, “Decoration for Stoneware,” by A. Zimet, features five stylized blue birds. Created between 1935 and 1942, this drawing is a possible design for decorative stoneware, perhaps intended for a teapot or vase. Zimet's use of bold lines and simple forms gives the birds a graphic quality suitable for reproduction. The blue hues and the bird imagery evoke a sense of nature and serenity. The design's simple elegance would be equally appropriate for a modern or traditional setting. This drawing, with its clear and simplified forms, could be seen as an example of Art Deco, a style prevalent in the 1930s and 1940s.
