"Barbotine- Flowers Pot "the Incredible Of The Directory And His Companion", 51 Cm"
Central Europe (Bohemia/Austria), late 19th – early 20th century. Rare, large-format figurative barbotine depicting an Incroyable of the Directoire period, recognizable by his characteristic late 18th-century costume (tailcoat, striped breeches, affected pose), accompanied by his companion in a scene of gallantry around a fountain. Very fine modeling and polychromy, nuanced and expressive enamels, lively and elegant composition. Typical of the major Central European manufactories of the late 19th century, inspired by French historicist taste.
