About the Item
Fernand Thesmar (1843-1912) was a French painter and master enameller specialising in motifs on glass and porcelain. Famous for having breathed new life into the rare and demanding technique of plique-à-jour, he created his first work in translucent enamel in 1888. Similar to cloisonné, this technique involves applying the enamel in fine openwork cells which, once fired, let the light pass through like a miniature stained-glass window. The result is translucent pieces of extreme finesse and vibrant colours. Typical of Thesmar's taste for plant and floral motifs, our delicate hemispherical bowl features a superb decoration of sprigs of lily of the valley and ladybug on a mesh and gold mount. Bearing the artist's monogram, it is dated 1905 and numbered 14. Some tiny cracks on the walls. HEIGHT 3 CM. DIAM. 6.5 CM / GROSS WEIGHT 36.0 G
