A perfect pair of harlequins, “Harlequin and Columbine”, beautiful ceramic art pieces from Ceramics Art Studio in Madison, Wisconsin, produced in the 1950s. They are in perfect condition. There is a black spot on Harlequin’s elbow that I have highlighted, it is part of the piece, perhaps the artist dropped a teeny drop of paint. These were handmade, and not mass produced, and hard to find.

The Ceramics Art Studio (CAS) was created in the 1940s. The top-selling ceramic figurines of the 1940s and '50s came from CAS and their outstanding designer, Betty Harrington.
