EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite water jug from Rouen, France, showcases the rich artistic heritage of ancient French pottery. Decorated with a vivid vignette, the jug features a noble horse adorned with a saddle, adding an element of elegance and sophistication. The horse is accompanied by the evocative motto, "nous Sommes deux," which translates to "we are two," suggesting a deep connection between the animal and its owner. The borders of the jug are adorned with intricate foliage in bold shades of red and blue, adding a vibrant contrast to the muted tones of the jug's body. This hand-finished chromolithograph, produced by Ris Paquots for their General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery, showcases the meticulous attention to detail and artistry that characterized the porcelain and pottery of the time. Chromolithography, a printing technique that emerged in the mid-19th century, allowed for the mass production of high-quality, colorful images. The process involved using multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a richly detailed and vibrant image. This water jug is not only a functional object, but also a work of art that tells a story of the past. The intricate details of the horse, the bold foliage, and the evocative motto all come together to create a captivating and timeless piece. The jug serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Rouen and the importance of preserving the beauty and craftsmanship of the past.
