Polychrome colors, cobalt blue and others, with a decoration of four handles in the form of Bacchus heads, vine tendrils, and a neck with a gadrooned floral design.
Signed "Thomas Sergent" monogram in relief. Mr. Thomas-Victor Sergent (1830-1890) was active in Paris between 1870 and 1885.
A small chip is missing from the horn of one handle.
Overall dimensions: Height: 21 cm / 8.27 inches; Diameter: 27 cm / 10.63 inches; Weight: 2.4 kg.
"Thomas Victor Sergent's work recalls the importance of Bernard Palissy in the 19th century and the myth surrounding his work as a ceramicist.
After a series of experiments with colored glazes, Palissy specialized in polychrome glazed ceramics.
A number of artists in Tours and then in Paris embraced this tradition and revived the characteristics of this distinctive ceramic style, which Palissy himself had termed 'rustic earthenware.'
Thomas Victor Sergent, active in Paris between 1870 and 1885, participated in this enthusiasm and can be considered one of the three greatest Palissy artists of the 19th century, along with Victor Barbizet (1805-1870) and Georges Pull." (1810-1889).
Sergent is distinguished by the technical quality of his hard, deep glaze, which highlights bright, contrasting colors.
He particularly favored brilliant cobalt blue.
He more frequently used molding than modeling.
Often, the two techniques coexisted.
