“Terra Cotta” comes from the Italian for “baked earth”.Made from natural clay, and usually unglazed, it wastypically worked by hand, rather than on a potter’s wheel.The color is primarily brownish orange, depending oniron content in the source clay. Historically baked in the sun,eventually terra cotta was fired in high temperature kilns.
Terra cotta was used for sculptures and pottery in theancient world – in India, Mesopotamia, Greece, West Africa,and China. The Terracotta Army of the First Emperor ofChina, dating from 210BC, is the most famous example.8000 life sized soldiers, 600+ horses, and thousands ofother figures have been unearthed since theirdiscovery in 1974.
During the Renaissance in Italy, terra cotta was prized as asculptural medium. In the 15th century, the Della Robbiafamily developed their prized reliefs, often glazed, especiallythe Madonna decorative medallions. Italian artisans spreadterra cotta’s popularity throughout Europe. Even inmodern times, sculptors like Maillol and Picasso workedin terra cotta.

Art Glass / Pate de Verre
When it comes to “Art Glass”, few glass makers compare to Emile Galle and the Brothers Daum of Nancy, France. A particularly fine example of Daum Nancy glass can be found in our item no. C029 Pate de Verre Leaf and Gecko.
Pate de Verre (‘paste of glass’) is formed by packing very finely ground glass into a bronze mold and firing at high temperatures around 1,200 C. until the glass fuses solid, but before
it melts. The resulting glass is transparent and lustrous, softly glowing. Pate de Verre may be colorless or infused with pleasing colors.
In 1891, Antonin Daum of the “Ecole de Nancy” with Emile Galle established the fine Art Department within the Nancy Glassworks founded in 1878. Daum artistry went on to win the prestigious Grand Prix de Paris in 1900, and remains unsurpassed until this day.
At ETC., we aim to bring our clients the finest artworks at reasonable prices. Please browse our web site, or visit our gallery in West Palm Beach.
