EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases a potiche, or vase, from the renowned Dutch city of Delft during the 18th century. The vase is adorned with an intricate floral pattern featuring playful cupids among the blossoms. The vase's elegant shape and delicate design are a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Dutch pottery tradition during this period. The hand-finished chromolithograph, created by Ris Paquots for their comprehensive work "Histoire Générale de la Poterie Ancienne Française et Étrangère," offers a detailed and accurate representation of the vase. Chromolithography, a color printing technique that emerged in the mid-19th century, allowed for the production of high-quality, detailed, and vibrant images. The vase's lid, also illustrated in the print, complements the overall design with its own floral motif. The cupids, depicted in various stages of playfully interacting with the flowers, add a charming element to the already beautiful piece. The Dutch pottery tradition, particularly from Delft, was highly regarded during the 18th century for its unique glazing techniques and intricate designs. This potiche is a prime example of the artistry and creativity that flourished during this time. The vase would have been a prized possession in any household, showcasing the owner's appreciation for the fine arts and their connection to the rich cultural heritage of Delft and the Netherlands.
