Lot #93: CANADIAN CERAMIST JARKO ZAVI - RACCOON FIGURE & LEAF DISH

Jarko Zavi (1907–1987) was a Czech-born Canadian ceramist and sculptor who lived and worked principally in Ontario. After attending art college in Czechoslovakia, he worked producing fine china at the Terra Company for twelve years, rising to head of ceramics design. Zavi fled to Canada just five days before the outbreak of World War II. Jarko married in Toronto and together they embarked on their career in pottery and ceramics. In a relatively short time they became ceramists of note, producing works that quickly became highly sought after and very collectable.
