Massive Antique French Barbotine Vase with Gros Relief
$16,800List Price
About the Item
Jean-Marie Pointu was one of a few who fabricated, designed and painted French barbotine in gros relief (large or high relief), particularly floral and foliate relief in the Impressionist style. The forms and their decoration are of an extreme variety. The time and work to finish one realistic flower, let alone several, was arduous, painstaking, and required extremely fine artistic talent. The Kaolin clay was manipulated to a paper thin fineness, formed into layers of floral petals and leaves, colored and sometimes fired before applying more colors, applied to a vessel , glazed and fired. During the firing, months of work could be ruined if one was not using the utmost caution. The process would then need to start over.
This massive vase has ground colors of pale greens fading into a dark green/black. The high relief flowers are depicted in stages from buds to completely open flowers, almost past their prime—a technique extremely difficult to accomplish with wet clay.
This magnificent vase will be a wonderful addition to any French barbotine collection.

Marbled Blue Sèvres Porcelain Vase, France, Dated 1872
Located in Dallas, TX
From Sèvres, France, this lovely porcelain vase has been hand painted in a faux blue marble with black and white veining. The vase was produced in the style of a Greek stamnos, which was a vase designed to store liquids. Stamnoi are typically more squatty versions of krater vases, with handles high on the sides. The bottom of the vase is stamped with a production mark reading “Sevres 1872”.
Sevres is a commune southwest of Paris that is known for its porcelain production. Manufacture nationale de Sèvres is a premier European porcelain factory that has been in Sevres since 1756. From 1800-1847, Alexander Brongniart was the director of the factory. Trained as both an engineer and a scientist, Brongniart brought about many changes to the factory, such as improving the composition of hard-paste porcelain and developing enameled colors to simulate marble.
