Lithophany NPM 528Dimensions: 7.5 x 9.5 cmTwo chapels face each other between a lake and a mountain. On the shore, a rider leaves the scene while a small sailboat sails on the lake.A lithophanie is a thin ceramic plate with a relief whose thickness varies from 1.5 to 4 mm. The porcelain is fired twice at a temperature of 1250 °C. In normal lighting, there is practically no visible image, but a three-dimensional image is created when a light is placed behind it. Lithophanies became particularly popular in the mid-19th century. Placed in front of a candle, they served as a bedside lamp or were hung in front of a window.link on the site https://www.lavalisearlesienne.com/product-page/lithophanie-les-deux-chapelles-entre-lac-et-montagne
