About the Item

Delicately crafted in France circa 1880, this charming barbotine porcelain basket captures the naturalistic beauty of late 19th-century floral ceramics. The oval vessel is richly adorned with an explosion of hand-modeled flowers in full relief, including roses, carnations, and camellias in soft pastel tones of blush, ivory, and buttercream. A gracefully arched twig-form handle, tied with a sculpted pink ribbon, rises above the basket and echoes the rustic naturalism of the floral arrangement. The interior is glazed in a pale celadon hue, contrasting gently with the richly colored blooms and leafy accents around the exterior. Measuring 7.5 inches wide by 6 inches deep and 6.25 inches high, this petite centerpiece is a testament to the finesse and romantic spirit of French barbotine artistry. Minor losses and restorations consistent with age do not detract from the overall impact of this ornate and highly decorative piece. A lovely addition to any collection of antique faience or 19th-century porcelain florals.

19th Century French Painted Ceramic Barbotine Basket from Montigny-sur-Loing
Located in Dallas, TX
Place this sculptural, antique jardinière on a shelf or on a kitchen counter for a pop of color. Crafted in Montigny-sur-Loing, France circa 1860, the colorful basket has a central handle and features a double vase decorated with floral and leaf motifs in high relief. The elegant, artistic planter with flowers is in excellent condition and has rich, pigmented colors in a blue, black, green and pink palette. Different markings on the bottom. Impressionist ceramics term generally applies to "paint the slip" or "batch gouache". At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the towns of Montigny-sur-Loing and Marlotte are many artists living places like Jean-Baptiste Corot, Eugène Thirion (1839-1910), Adrien Schulz (1851-1931), Numa Gillet (1868-1940) and Lucien Cahen-Michel (1888-1980), all attracted by the quality of the landscape and the light. When Eugene Schopin founded in 1872 a ceramics factory, he worked with the painters to create a range of designs inspired by Impressionism and decorated according to new public demands. Several ceramic factories will develop around this Impressionist movement. The most famous, such as Georges Delvaux (1834-1909), Albert Boué (1862-1918) and Charles Alphonse Petit (1862-1927), will produce until 1922. Other manufacturers, such as Theodore Lefront...
