Camaieu Decoration on Sevres Pottery: A Visual Feast of Soft Pastel Hues This stunning chromolithograph by Gillot, based on an illustration by Edouard Garnier from The Soft Paste Porcelain of Sevres, published in 1891 by Maison Quantin, Paris, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of exquisite Camaieu decoration on Sevres pottery. The image showcases an array of elegant tableware, including a sugarbowl and sucrier, a carrier, obconic cup and saucer, a moiron waterjug, and a bowl, all adorned with the intricate and delicate Camaieu technique. Camaieu decoration is a distinctive style of Sevres pottery that emerged in the late 18th century. It involves the application of multiple layers of colored clay, which are then fired at different temperatures to create a subtle, soft pastel effect. The result is a visually striking contrast between the matte, unglazed areas and the glossy, vitreous glaze. The illustration captures the essence of this intricate decorative art form, with its delicate floral motifs and graceful curves. The sugarbowl and sucrier, for instance, are adorned with a delicate floral design, while the obconic cup and saucer feature a more geometric pattern. The waterjug and bowl, meanwhile, showcase a more organic, flowing design, with intricate tendrils and leaves. The tableware is arranged on a tandard, a traditional French serving stand, adding to the overall elegance and sophistication of the scene. The chromolithograph, with its rich colors and intricate details, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of 19th-century French porcelain, and the enduring beauty of the Camaieu decoration on Sevres pottery.
