1. Title: Hexagonal Surtout or Centerpiece Dish from Rouen: A Glimpse into French Heraldry and Decorative Arts This exquisite hexagonal surtout or centerpiece dish hails from the renowned city of Rouen, France, as depicted in this hand-finished chromolithograph from "Histoire Ancienne et Moderne de la Poterie Francaise et Etrangere en Faïence et en Porcelaine," published by Ris Paquots in Paris in 1874. The dish showcases a captivating blend of French heraldry and decorative arts, with a prominent escutcheon bearing a coat of arms in the center. The coat of arms, encircled by an intricate border of foliage in shimmering blue and gold, is a testament to the rich history and heritage of its origins. The vibrant colors and meticulous details of the lithograph illustrate the exceptional craftsmanship and artistry that characterized the porcelain and pottery production in Rouen during the late 19th century. The hexagonal shape of the dish adds an elegant and distinctive touch, making it a desirable centerpiece for formal dining occasions. The harmonious combination of heraldry and decorative elements reflects the strong connection between the culinary arts and the cultural traditions of France during this period. This image offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of ancient French and foreign glazed pottery, showcasing the exquisite artistry and historical significance of these treasured pieces. The hand-finished chromolithograph, produced by Ris Paquots, serves as a valuable record of the rich artistic heritage of Rouen and its enduring influence on the decorative arts.
