EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of exquisite plates from Lille, an important center for ceramic production in the 18th century. The plates, decorated with intricate gold, blue, and white foliage, are adorned with playful cupids holding a banner that reads "Maitre d'Aligne," a mark of the pottery master who created these masterpieces. The plates are part of a hand-finished chromolithograph from "Histoire Generale de la Poterie Ancienne Française et Étrangère Glacée," published by Ris Paquet in Paris in 1874. Chromolithography, a color printing technique that emerged in the mid-19th century, allowed for the mass production of detailed and vibrant images. Lille, located in northern France, was renowned for its porcelain and pottery production during the 18th century. The city's potters were known for their innovative techniques and intricate designs, which often featured floral motifs and mythological scenes. The plates in this print are a testament to the skill and artistry of these master craftsmen. The banner held by the cupids, "Maitre d'Aligne," was a mark used by the pottery studio of Jean-Baptiste d'Aligne, one of the most prominent potters in Lille during the 18th century. The mark indicates that these plates were created in his studio, ensuring a high level of quality and craftsmanship. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of Lille's ceramic industry and the intricate designs that defined the 18th century. The gold, blue, and white foliage, along with the playful cupids, make these plates a true work of art.
