About the Item
Polychrome table fountain Delft, 1750-1770
The polychrome table fountain is modelled in the form of a corpulent, seated man on a pedestal. He sits leisurely leaning back on a green pedestal with net decor with flowers. He is dressed in a blue jacket with flowers, white vest, yellow knee-breeches, white stockings and dark shoes. On his head he wears a tricorn that has an opening at the top for liquor (wine, liqueur or gin) for liquor to be poured into. The stopper is missing. There is a handle on the back, and a pewter tap in a mascaron on the front.
Dimensions: height 31,5 cm / 12.40 in., width 21 cm / 8.26 in., depth 29,5 cm / 11.61 in.
Provenance: G. Lefebvre, antique dealer in Paris, Fernando-Po
Table fountains in the form of seated people on a pedestal were made around the middle of the eighteenth century and are associated with the rococo period (1730-1770) when tureens and other tableware in faience were executed in realistic animal, vegetable and fruit forms.
Many human-shaped table fountains are known. Both men and women are depicted in a wide variety of poses, clothing, and elegance. It is noteworthy that some pieces aim for a higher social market segment in terms of persons and pedestals depicted (Lavino collection, pp. 51, 139-141). Table fountains in the shape of cheerful drinkers waving a glass or bottle seated on a wine barrel suggest a more common setting, even perhaps an inn.
