EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite saucer, adorned with a vibrant Chinese landscape, is an elegant companion to an 18th century Delft pitcher from the Netherlands. The intricately detailed print, hand-finished through the chromolithograph process, showcases a serene landscape filled with lush greenery, exotic birds, and an array of colorful flowers. The tranquil scene is reminiscent of the Far East, reflecting the global influences that shaped European ceramics during this period. The saucer, aiguière in French, was a popular accessory for pitchers and jugs, designed to protect the table from spills and drips. This particular saucer, with its stunning decoration, would have added a touch of elegance and sophistication to any table setting. The saucer is depicted in "Histoire Générale des Porcelaines Anciennes de France et Étrangères," a comprehensive work on ancient French and foreign glazed pottery by Ris Paquots, published in Paris in 1874. The lithograph, produced using the chromolithograph process, showcases the saucer's beauty in intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate its design in all its glory. The Chinese landscape on the saucer is filled with peacocks, exotic birds, and a variety of flowers, reflecting the fascination Europeans had with the Far East during the 18th century. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the production of detailed and accurate color prints, further enhanced the saucer's allure, making it a desirable collectible for ceramics enthusiasts and historians alike.
