Provenance:
FootnoteEdouard Garnier (1840-1903), French artist and curator of the Museum of Ceramics and Collections, made 50 original watercolors that were engraved as chromolithographs by Parisian printer Maison Quantin. Only 283 copies of the folio were produced. These chromolithographs depict ornately designed soft porcelain pieces - vases, jardinieres; featuring hand-painted insets of florals, cherubs, and scenes of people in nature. They form an excellent example of the rich ground colors that Sevres porcelain is well known for - 'fond rose', 'bleu celeste' and 'bleu lapis', also known as 'gros bleu', which was the earliest ground color developed at Vincennes.
