Art Deco ceramics from this period are distinguished by geometric profiles, angular handles, solid triangular feet, and abstract or stylized hand-painted floral motifs executed in bold colour palettes.

Pieces were typically slip-cast in earthenware or fine ceramic body, clear-glazed, and decorated with brightly coloured enamel glazes painted directly onto the surface.

Authentic items feature specific impressed shape marks, printed maker backstamps under the glaze, characteristic hand-painted brushwork, and distinct geometric forms unique to her design portfolio.

Display these brightly painted pieces on a clean sideboard top, open shelf, or inside a glass display cabinet where their graphic shapes and high-contrast colours can serve as strong visual accents.

Wash by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive sponges, dishwasher cleaning, or prolonged soaking that might damage delicate surface enamels.
