1. Title: "A Delightful Display of Carree Style Cups and Saucers: An 1891 Chromolithograph Illustration by Edouard Garnier" This exquisite chromolithograph print, created by Gillot and based on an illustration by Edouard Garnier in 1891, showcases an enchanting collection of Carree style cups and saucers. The Soft Paste Porcelain of Sevres, as depicted in this illustration, was a renowned and highly sought-after art form during the late 19th century. The Carree style, named for its square or rectangular shape, was a popular design trend during this period. The cups and saucers in this illustration are adorned with intricate floral patterns, featuring blooms such as roses, tulips, and lilies, delicately rendered in gilt and vibrant colors. The contrast between the gilt accents and the soft, pastel hues of the flowers creates a stunning visual effect. The cups are depicted with their handles gracefully curving around the rim, while the saucers boast a decorative border that frames the central floral design. The overall impression is one of elegance and refinement, a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Maison Quantin in Paris, where these pieces were produced. The Chromolithograph process, which involved the use of multiple lithographic stones, allowed for the creation of intricately detailed and richly colored images. This technique was particularly well-suited to the reproduction of ceramic designs, enabling the mass production and dissemination of such exquisite works of art. This print offers a glimpse into the historical significance of Carree style cups and saucers, as well as the broader context of the soft paste porcelain industry during the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of these decorative objects and the artistry that went into their creation.
