EDITORS COMMENTS
Bread or Apple Tray" is a vibrant and intricately designed ceramic piece created by American artist Eugene Shellady in 1936. This stunning work of art, now a cherished item of heritage art, showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch and German colonies in America during the 1930s and 1940s. The tray, measuring approximately 15 inches in length, is adorned with a lively floral design, featuring a variety of colorful blooms and foliage, interspersed with apples and bread loaves. The use of apples and bread suggests the tray's original purpose as a functional piece, intended for use in the home. The design is executed in oil paint on a sturdy paperboard base, with a tin or toleware finish that adds to its rustic charm. Shellady's "Bread or Apple Tray" is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch and German colonies in America during the mid-20th century. It is a prime example of the decorative arts that emerged from these communities, which were characterized by their intricate designs, vibrant colors, and attention to detail. Today, this beautiful piece is a prized addition to the collections of many art galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of America's past and the continued importance of preserving and celebrating the works of artists like Eugene Shellady.
