A chromolithogaph from La Faïance Populaire au XVIIIme Siecle by Mareschal. This book described the shapes, usage, decoration, colour and marks of this kind of pottery.
Published in Paris in 1872.
Size: 26.7 x 17.2 cms or 6 3/4 x 10 1/2 inches.
Condition: Very Good. The white part of the print’s surface has browned at the edges. There are small marks across the surface that are flaws of manufacture and a shadow of foxing.
This plate, the decoration of which is more inspired by than copied from the Japanese has infinite variations. The author says that it is unnecessary to dwell on the merits of this particular model; suffice to say it has captured the spirit of the original.
A lovely piece for framing perhaps in combination with others.
