EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite saucer, created by the Nyon Porcelain Factory around 1800, is a true testament to the craftsmanship of the European applied arts in the 18th century. The delicate floral pattern adorning its surface showcases the mastery of enamel and gilding techniques that were highly valued during this time. The saucer's black color provides a striking backdrop for the vibrant polychrome enamels and intricate gold detailing. Its elegant design reflects both the beauty of nature and the artistic sensibilities of its creator. This piece exemplifies how art can be seamlessly integrated into everyday objects like crockery, transforming them into works of art in their own right. Displayed at an exhibition in Chicago's renowned Art Institute, this artifact offers a glimpse into Switzerland's rich ceramic heritage. The Nyon Porcelain Factory was known for producing high-quality hard paste porcelain, which was highly sought after across Europe. In this particular print, we see a silhouette profile of a man admiring this historic saucer. His presence adds depth to our understanding of how such pieces were appreciated throughout history. It reminds us that beyond being functional tableware, these ceramics held cultural significance and were treasured as symbols of wealth and refinement. As we admire this photograph print today, let it serve as a reminder not only of past artistic achievements but also as an inspiration for contemporary craftsmen who continue to push boundaries in their pursuit of excellence in applied arts.
