EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oval platter, hailing from the renowned pottery town of Niderviller in Lorraine, France, showcases a stunning botanical illustration of roses and tulips. The platter, which dates back to the late 19th century, is a hand-finished chromolithograph from the esteemed publication "Histoire Générale de la Faience Ancienne Française et Étrangère" by Ris Paquots, published in Paris in 1874. Chromolithography is a printing technique that uses multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a multicolored image. The intricate design on this platter is a testament to the exceptional artistry of the period. The roses and tulips are depicted in lifelike detail, their petals delicately rendered in various shades of red, pink, and green. The background is adorned with intricate gold and black line work, adding an elegant and ornate touch to the piece. Niderviller, located in the Meurthe department of Lorraine, was renowned for its high-quality pottery production during the 18th and 19th centuries. The town's potters were known for their mastery of various techniques, including the use of chromolithography to create intricate and vibrant designs on their porcelain and pottery wares. This oval platter is not only a beautiful addition to any table setting, but it is also a fascinating piece of historical art. The botanical illustration is not only visually stunning but also a reflection of the natural beauty and artistic prowess of the time. The hand-finished chromolithograph further adds to the uniqueness and value of this exquisite piece.
