Jardinière with landscape
Haviland & Co.|Emile Justin Merlot
ca. 1880 · Earthenware · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
Ceramics decorated using the barbotine method of painting with colored liquid slips required a flat canvas-like surface on which the artist could paint. Hence new forms were developed with flat sides, like this jardinière. The pond scene, in the Barbizon style, recalls landscapes by Charles-François Daubigny (1817–1878).
