Cybis Porcelain Art Sculpture Sitting Pig Plato Figurine 1983 Signed EUC‎ USA

Cybis Porcelain Art Sculpture Sitting Pig Plato Figurine 1983 Signed EUC USA Boleslaw Cybis (1895-1957) was a Lithuanian artist recognized throughout Europe for his art during the 1920s and 1930s. Cybis received a request from the US government to create a series of murals for the "Hall of Honor" at the 1939 World's Fair in New York. After obtaining citizenship, he and his wife Marja established a studio in Astoria, a suburb of New York City. In 1942 the studio moved to Trenton, New Jersey where the Cordey China Company opened, producing china gift ware. By the late 1940s, Cybis shifted to porcelain and opened a second location to focus on porcelain sculptural art named Cybis Porcelain Art Studio in 1950. In 1957, Cybis died and his wife died the following year. Cybis Porcelain Art Studio passed to Cybis' protege Marilyn Chorlton and her husband Joseph. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Chorltons reinvented the studio by producing only original designs with copyright registrations for the sculptures. This was a "golden age" for the company.
