Edouard Marcel Sandoz, Unique Bowl Raie bouclée

Edouard Marcel Sandoz, unique bowl Raie bouclée, 1921. Slightly curved bowl in the shape of a ray, the tail as a handle. Bronze, cire-perdue, dark patinated. H. 4.5 x 12.8 x 16.8 cm. Inscribed on the handle: Ed. Sandoz (bossed).

The design for the ray goes back to 1921. There are three slightly varying versions of the work. In 1921 a larger one based on a wax casting with a plinth, then a reduction and finally between 1926 and 1930 an edition casting at Contenot, Paris. - The present copy is signed and has no plinth; there is no casting mark. This is therefore version 1397 POI/1921-9a or 1298 POI/1921-9b.

Entry in the catalog raisonné: No. 1396, 1397 and 1398.
