EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite plate, hailing from the picturesque town of Nevers, France, showcases an Italian-genre hunting scene, beautifully rendered in intricate detail. The centerpiece of the plate is a lively and dynamic hunting scene, featuring hunters on horseback and foot, along with their loyal hounds, as they pursue a variety of game through the forest. The scene is framed by a decorative border, brimming with putti, birds, and lush foliage. This hand-finished chromolithograph, taken from Ris Paquots' "General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery," published in Paris in 1874, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and artistry of the time. Chromolithography, a popular printing technique of the late 19th century, allowed for vibrant and detailed images, making this plate a true masterpiece. The border of the plate is adorned with playful putti, their cherubic faces and slender forms adding a touch of whimsy to the overall design. The border also features an abundance of birds, both in flight and perched among the foliage, adding a sense of movement and life to the piece. The intricate foliage, with its delicate leaves and branches, completes the border and provides a beautiful contrast to the bold hunting scene at the center. This plate, with its rich history and stunning detail, is a testament to the artistic and cultural exchange that took place between Italy and France during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and craftsmanship that can be found in the most unexpected places, and is a true treasure for any collector of antique porcelain or pottery.
