EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century plate, hailing from Sinceny, France, showcases a captivating oriental landscape brimming with vibrant birds and flowers. The intricately detailed hand-finished chromolithograph, taken from Ris Paquots' "Histoire Générale de la Poterie Ancienne Française et Étrangère," published in Paris in 1874, transports us to a far-off land filled with the allure of the East. The plate's design embodies the popular Chinoiserie style, a European craze for all things Chinese, that swept through the 18th and 19th centuries. The rich colors and meticulous attention to detail in this chromolithograph are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. Chromolithography, an innovative printing technique that emerged in the mid-19th century, allowed for the production of detailed and vividly colored images. This process involved the use of multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a final image with a wide range of hues and shading. The plate's scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills, winding rivers, and lush greenery. Delicate blossoms adorn the trees, while exotic birds perch gracefully among the branches. The intricate patterns on the plate's border add an additional layer of visual interest, further emphasizing the Asian influence that was so popular during this period. This stunning plate not only serves as a beautiful example of 18th century French porcelain, but also as a window into the European fascination with the exotic and the East during this time period. Its intricate design and vibrant colors continue to captivate and inspire, making it a true work of art.
