EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century platter, hailing from the renowned city of Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany, showcases an intricately designed scene of a wild boar under attack by a horde of fantastical creatures. The hand-finished chromolithograph, produced in Paris in 1874 by Ris Paquet's Histoire Générale de la Porcelaine Ancienne Française et Étrangère, adds an extra layer of allure to this already mesmerizing piece. The platter's surface is adorned with a vivid and detailed depiction of demons, monsters, chimaeras, and serpents, all locked in a frenzied pursuit of the hapless wild boar. The use of vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail in the lithographic process brings the scene to life, making it a true masterpiece of the 19th century. The platter's historical significance lies not only in its stunning visual appeal but also in its connection to the rich artistic traditions of Nuremberg and Bavaria. The city of Nuremberg was renowned for its production of fine porcelain and pottery, and this platter is a testament to the skill and creativity of its artisans. The inclusion of this platter in Ris Paquet's Histoire Générale de la Porcelaine Ancienne Française et Étrangère further underscores its importance as a historical artifact. The publication of this comprehensive work on ancient French and foreign glazed pottery marked a significant contribution to the study of ceramics and the preservation of their artistic heritage. This platter is not only a beautiful and intriguing work of art but also a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic traditions of Nuremberg, Bavaria, and Europe as a whole during the 18th and 19th centuries.
