Very Rare and Extremely Sought After Early French Art Deco Robj Paris Figural Eskimo Ink Well. 1910-1940 Porcelain Eskimo Inkwell depicting an Eskimo ice fisherman peering down a ice fishing hole (serving as the inkwell). Marked \"Robj Paris Made in France\" on the underside. 7.75\"W x 5.0\"D x 6.25\"H. VERY VERY few examples of this inkwell were created and even fewer remain today.
The production of Robj porcelain figurines and other objects reached the height of their popularity in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Jean Born (Robj) and his partner Lucien Willmetz, managed a successful retail store at 3, Cite d’Hauteville in Paris. They actively encouraged Art Deco and Cubist ceramic designers and artists, and provided a showcase for their production works. Robj sponsored an annual competition of “art deco trinkets” between 1927 and 1931 as a means of discovering new designers. Robj was not a manufacturer – his porcelain pieces were commissioned and produced by various suppliers among them Manufacture de Sèvres,Villeroy et Boch in Luxemburg, several factories in Limoges and a decoration workshop with a muffle furnace in Boulogne-sur-Seine.
Incredible must have piece for any collector!!
