Artist: Porcelaine De Paris
A rare and charming First Empire pitcher in white porcelain, decorated with gold and colored paintings of children dressed as Napoleon and a Marine Drummer. This piece, a tribute to the reign of the young Napoleon, the future Emperor, is a playful and humorous scene, featuring two carefree children playing warriors with determination in a pretty, colorful setting surrounded by vegetation and gilded with lines and a floral spray. The neck and foot are edged with gilt lines, and the handle is in the form of a swan's head. A Parisian porcelain piece from the period, in perfect condition, this lovely, historic, and humorous table pitcher is a beautiful collector's item and a curiosity, dating from around 1810. It embodies the fascination of the young Bonaparte and the love of the French people.
