Viktor Schreckengost Danse Moderne 11 1/4 inch charger also known as the Jazz Plate. Created in 1931 while at Cowan Pottery Schreckengost has depicted a couple dancing to Jazz music with stars and cocktails surrounding them done in dry point decoration in Egyptian Blue and black engobe. Impressed on the back with the circular Cowan logo and also Cowan in block letters. The charger came to us with a lot of shallow scratches which in some places, actually obscured the decoration. Since there are no chips, cracks or restoration it was decided to coat the front with clear acrylic which has made the scratches disappear. The charger displays very nicely and the over spray can be easily removed if necessary.

Several scratches, clear acrylic coat over
