A Thomas Sergent Palissy Ware Majolica Wall Pocket with Snake, French, ca. 1875
About the Item
A Highly Rare Thomas Sergent Palissy Ware Majolica Trompe-l'oeil Wall Pocket, naturalistically molded as an oak tree, with green-glazed leaves and acorns, a fledgling blackbird in nest, and a yellow-glazed snake, the top portion formed as an oak branch, the base with three knots, the reverse with impressed mark 'TS,' French, ca. 1875.
Thomas-Victor Sargent (French 1830-1890) was an important maker from the School of Paris from 1870 to ca. 1885. According to Nichols, Sargent was an accomplished chemist, a gifted ceramist, and a true devotee of the 16th-century master Bernard Palissy.
"He made all of his own materials, including his enamels and glazes, and he developed his own clay formula for maximum plasticity. He made his own moulds and produced extremely vibrant colours such as cobalt blue, yellow, orange, and greens."
