EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pitcher, crafted by the renowned 16th century potter Bernard Palissy from Saintes, Charente, is a stunning example of French ceramic art from the ancient period. The pitcher, now housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum, boasts intricate decorative elements that showcase Palissy's mastery of the art. The helmet spout and scroll handle are adorned with intricate floral patterns, while the sun emblem at the center adds an element of mythology and symbolism. The pitcher's body is adorned with a lively scene of mythical creatures, further enhancing its allure. This hand-finished chromolithograph from Ris Paquots' "General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery" offers a detailed and accurate representation of the pitcher, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and intricacy in greater detail. Chromolithography, a popular printing technique of the 19th century, was used to create vibrant and detailed images, making it an ideal medium for showcasing the intricate designs of historical pottery. Bernard Palissy was a pioneer in the field of pottery, known for his innovative glazes and decorative techniques. His work, which often featured naturalistic designs inspired by the natural world, was highly sought after by the French aristocracy and collectors from around Europe. This pitcher, with its helmet spout, scroll handle, sun emblem, mythical scene, and floral pattern, is a testament to Palissy's artistic vision and mastery of the craft. The Victoria and Albert Museum's acquisition of this pitcher is a significant addition to its extensive collection of historical pottery, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of France and the world.
