EDITORS COMMENTS
This decorative bottle from Rouen showcases a vibrant and intricately painted scene of a Roman rite, making it a stunning example of the rich historical and artistic traditions of ancient French and foreign glazed pottery. The bottle, which dates back to the late 19th century, is a hand-finished chromolithograph produced by Ris Paquet, as depicted in their seminal work, "Histoire Générale de la Faience Ancienne Française et Étrangère." Chromolithography, a printing technique that emerged during the Victorian era, allowed for the production of detailed and colorful images, making it an ideal medium for showcasing intricate designs such as this one. The bottle's decoration features a lively scene of a Roman rite, with figures in traditional robes and headdresses engaging in a ceremonial procession. The use of bold, contrasting colors and fine details adds to the overall visual impact of the piece. The bottle's shape is elegant and graceful, with a narrow waist and a wide, flared base, making it a beautiful addition to any collection of decorative art or antique pottery. Despite its ornamental appearance, this bottle was not intended for commercial use as a container, but rather as a work of art to be admired and appreciated. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable and intriguing piece of art and cultural history. The bottle's provenance as a hand-finished chromolithograph from Ris Paquet's "Histoire Générale de la Faience Ancienne Française et Étrangère" adds to its allure, as this work was a seminal publication in the study of ancient French and foreign glazed pottery. Overall, this decorative bottle from Rouen is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the past and a reminder of the beauty and intrigue that can be found in the smallest of objects.
