EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph by Gillot, based on an illustration by Edouard Garnier from The Soft Paste Porcelain of Sevres published by Maison Quantin in Paris in 1891, showcases a collection of Early Sevres ware. The image transports us back in time to the opulent courts of the late 18th century, specifically during the reign of King Louis XV. The centerpiece of the illustration is a spring vase adorned with intricate enamel work, depicting a lively scene of birds and flowers. The vase's delicate design is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Early Sevres ware, which was renowned for its fine enamel work and elegant shapes. Surrounding the spring vase are various other pieces, including a portrait plaque, an autumn vase, and a plate. The plaque features a beautiful portrait of a young woman, her expression radiating grace and refinement. The autumn vase is adorned with enameled leaves and berries, adding to the seasonal theme of the illustration. The plate, with its simple yet elegant design, completes the ensemble. The sugarbowl, also shown in the illustration, is another fine example of Early Sevres ware. Its intricately designed lid and handle are a testament to the artistry and skill of the craftsmen who created these pieces. This chromolithograph provides a glimpse into the rich history of Sevres ware, a type of soft-paste porcelain that was highly sought after during the 18th and 19th centuries for its beauty and rarity. The intricate designs, fine enamel work, and elegant shapes of these pieces continue to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike, making them cherished treasures in the world of antique china, pottery, and crockery.
