Pair of vases
Painted and gilded hard porcelain
Dimensions : H. 24,5 (cm.)
Paris, second third of the 19th century
Two baluster vases with scrolled handles. Each with two sides with Christian themes. The obverse showing Christ and the Virgin Mary, the reverse monogrammed IHS (Iesus Hominum Salvator) and MA (Mater Amabilis). Probably from the Restoration or Louis-Philippe period.
Hard porcelain in Paris in the early 19th century
Unlike earthenware factories, porcelain factories flourished under the Empire, particularly in Paris. The period 1800-1820 can be considered the golden age of porcelain in Paris. There were nineteen porcelain factories in Paris in 1800, but only seven were founded under the Ancien Régime: Dihl et Guérard, Houzel, Lemaire et Josse, Pouyat et Russinger, Schoelcher, Despréz et Nast.
In contrast to the last twenty years of the 18th century, marked by a shift from rocaille to antique simplicity, the first thirty years of the 19th century saw the opposite, moving from antique sobriety to rococo.
