Depth: (at base) 6.25” (15.5cm). Height: (entire) 6.75” (17cm). Location: Dublin City, Ireland. Affordable fixed charge Worldwide Store to door shipping arranged by Seller. Provenance: Purchased from the estate of American Actress Ava Gardner (1992-1990) by renowned London Antiques Dealer Kenneth Neame of Mount Street, Mayfair, London. Jacob Petit Porcelain: French hard-paste porcelain produced by Jacob Petit (b. 1796). Petit worked at the porcelain factory at Sèvres as a painter. With his brother Mardochée he bought a porcelain factory in Fontainebleau in 1830, finally settling in Paris in 1863. The wares he made were of a purely ornamental character; e.g., vases, scent bottles, statuettes, clocks. The high-quality porcelain may have been fired in Limoges. The usual colours are pale pink, light green, mauve, black, and gold. The shapes are idiosyncratic interpretations of the 18th-century rocaille style typical of the popular preference for the neo-Rococo during Louis-Philippe’s reign (1830–48).
