The Hippolyte Boulenger Creil et Montereau factory produced the crackled pieces published by "La Maîtrise", in particular those of the Adnet brothers. Émile Gazan's animal subjects are very rare. He more readily sculpted human subjects published in polychrome porcelain by the Etling editions. Signed intaglio on one side of the terrace E. GAZAN and stamp of the factory below HBCM in underglaze ink. Height: 21.5 cm. Perfect condition.
