EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-finished chromolithograph depicts a vase or potiche from Rouen, France, dating back to the 18th century. The centerpiece of the vase is a heraldic escutcheon, a symbol of noble lineage and heritage. The escutcheon is surrounded by lush foliage, adding an element of natural beauty and elegance to the design. Rouen, a city in northern France, was renowned for its production of high-quality pottery and porcelain during the 18th century. The city's potters were known for their innovative techniques and intricate designs, which often incorporated heraldic elements. This particular vase showcases the skill and artistry of the Rouen potters. The chromolithograph, produced by Ris Paquot in Paris in 1874, captures the intricacies of the vase's design with remarkable detail. Chromolithography, a printing technique that uses multiple lithographic stones, allowed for the production of detailed and vibrant images. The vase's heraldic escutcheon is a testament to the historical significance of Rouen pottery. Heraldry, the practice of creating and displaying coats of arms, was an essential aspect of European culture during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The use of heraldic elements in pottery and porcelain was a way to celebrate and commemorate the nobility and their lineages. This beautiful vase is not only a work of art but also a historical artifact, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Rouen and France during the 18th century. The intricate design, the use of heraldic elements, and the high-quality craftsmanship make this vase a true masterpiece of ancient French pottery.
