1880 Gien French Faience Pair Majolica Gold Chocolate Vases with Armored Knights
About the Item
A very rare signed pair of Faience vases produced by the prestigious French Gien factory, with a unique enameling technique called "Emaux chagrin" = painful enamels, because of the difficulty and time-consuming craftsmanship. The background consists of hand-applied enamel, a mixture of real gold, and chocolate brown colored clay. Then these museum pieces are hand decorated on both sides with gold leaf: antiquity decor with detailed armored knights on one side, and naturalism decor with organic scrolled foliage on the other. The interiors are enameled in an ivory cream color to enhance the contrast with the exterior.
