EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph print depicts a pitcher from the picturesque town of Avignon, located in the Vaucluse region of France. The pitcher, or "aiguière" in French, is adorned with intricate designs of leaves and figures, showcasing the rich artistic traditions of ancient French and foreign glazed pottery. The hand-finished chromolithograph, produced by Ris Paquots for their "General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery," captures the essence of this beautiful and historic piece. Chromolithography, a popular printing technique of the late 19th century, allowed for the creation of detailed and vibrant images, making this print an accurate representation of the original pitcher. Avignon, a city steeped in history and culture, has long been known for its unique pottery. The region's clay, rich in minerals, was prized for its ability to produce high-quality glazed pottery. The intricate designs on this pitcher reflect the influence of various artistic styles that have shaped the region's pottery over the centuries. The figures and leaves depicted on the pitcher are expertly rendered, adding to its visual appeal. The pitcher's elegant shape and delicate decoration make it a true work of art, reflecting the skill and artistry of the potters of Avignon and Vaucluse. This print serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and historical significance of Avignon's pottery, and is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of France.
